on the streets : young homeless people

summary

In recent years, the number of homeless people in France has exploded. Among them are many young people, victims of a double penalty : too old for child protection, but not old enough to receive a minimum social aid. The forgotten members of the French welfare system.

Exiles, runaways, drug addicts, broken families or former members of the Aide Sociale à l'Enfance (ASE). We pass beside them every day, without seeing any of them. They blend into the landscape. They find refuge in squats or social hotels. Sometimes they study. Between self-building and the urgent need to get by, these young people highlight the many crisis facing our society.
