Homeless families in Paris demand housing outside city hall

Dozens of homeless families, mostly women with young children, camped out in front of the city hall of Paris’ 18th district on Thursday (July 25), demanding housing and saying their situation worsened during the clearing of squats in the lead-up to the Olympic Games. Co-founder of Utopia charity, Yann Manzi, said the homeless families were kicked out of shelters a few months ago and were offered emergency housing in towns far from the capital.
