As France's winter eviction ban ends, alarming figures reveal a record 24,000 households were evicted in 2024, doubling the number from a decade ago.

Advocacy groups warn of a worsening housing crisis, with over 4.2 million people living in substandard conditions and 350,000 homeless.

The rise in evictions is linked to inflation and stricter laws like the 2023 anti-squat legislation, which accelerates eviction processes.

Many evicted families face dire consequences, often resorting to living in cars or overcrowded shelters.

Housing advocates are urging the government to prioritize prevention and increase support for struggling tenants to address this growing crisis.
