The finance bill confirms the abolition of 14,000 places in 2022 and 2023. Hotels, made available during the period of health crisis, find their tourist vocation, without this loss being offset.

“At Palatino, we felt here,” says Myriam (she does not wish to give her name, like the other people cited by their first name), sketching a smile. His two years in this building of 13 e arrondissement of Paris, converted into emergency accommodation during the health crisis, allowed him to regain sleep, to work (as a living assistant) and to His son, to succeed in his baccalaureate. Until the Palatino becomes a student residence again, at the start of the school year.
Myriam had to leave the recent studio with the kitchen area it occupied there, like a hundred other families. The Samu Social has relocated it to the Exelmans hotel, in the 16 e arrondissement. The ceiling of his room is pierced and moldy. One night, the rain pierced him. You have to live two in 10 m², crowded with suitcases and clean linen baskets, because the wardrobe is narrow. There are mice that Myriam intends to nibble at night and cockroaches that two tours of a specialized team were not enough to eradicate. The shower barely flows lukewarm. At the Hotel Exelmans, Myriam does not feel at home.
“We reopened to help out”
Sergine says she cried for several days to have to sleep her nine -year -old daughter, heavily disabled, in a room whose dirt, smells and pests. And it is a puzzle to share the unique kitchen of the hotel with the occupants of the thirty-six other rooms, especially as the child must follow a strict diet, based on fresh products. “If my daughter mugs a bacteria, she may lose her kidneys! I just ask for a suitable place.”
A collective was formed in support of these families of the Palatino and those who must leave another hotel of 13 e , the lodge in. In their leaflet, the federation of parents of Students FCPE, the Education Sans Frontières network, the DAL, unions and leftist parties have denounced insufficiently prepared departures, towards distant hotels, although they are often families with disabled children, educated in the neighborhood . At the end of a rally in front of the regional prefecture on Wednesday, September 28, the collective obtained that some “uncomfortable” are reconsidered, and that people always in Palatino can stay there. Not those of the lodge in.
These cases are not isolated. The Samu Social has lost or will lose in the capital, by the end of the year, more than 2,500 hotel places. Establishments that had agreed to do emergency accommodation when tourists had deserted Paris come back to their primary vocation, more remunerative. Others are renovated before the 2023 Rugby World Cup and the 2024 Olympic Games.
