Gauging the social situation in Paris - 2024 Report

Conducted annually, the assessment of the social situation in Paris, is carried out by Apur in close collaboration with the City of Paris, AP-HP, Paris Habitat, Caf de Paris, Adil de Paris, the Mission Locale de Paris and the Samusocial de Paris, in association with numerous public-sector players and non-profit associations actively involved in the Parisian social field. It combines multiple statistical and activity data sources as well as feedback from diverse players gathered via questionnaires and interviews. Its aim is to provide insight into current trends by identifying signs of weak points in order to be aware of needs and to take preventive action.

This new report confirms the findings of previous assessments regarding the priorities highlighted by professionals. Similarly to each year since 2021, health-related needs are top of the list of priorities of players questioned. Health is widely considered to cover different areas linked as much to healthcare and medico-social services as to issues linked to the population's health, particularly mental health and even isolation and the need to be listened to. Issues relating to access to social rights and support for people form the second set of needs. Professionals particularly expressed the need to consolidate action undertaken in the framework of partnership initiatives such as the "Zero Non-Solution Territory" (Territoire Zéro Non-Recours) experiment.

The study also underlines the enormous challenges in terms of access to accommodation and housing, with notably a rise in the number of homeless people, the risks linked to eviction from rentals and a considerabl rise in the number of social housing applications. Professionals also spoke of the difficulty of budgeting for some households, particularly in certain areas of expenditure (food, energy, housing etc.). Needs linked to violence prevention are expressed more prominently than in  previous reports. It would seem that this issue covers as much situations of domestic and intra-family violence as experiences encountered by professionals at work (irritation of users, rudeness, aggression etc.).
 
Similarly to previous reports, four sectors of the society are more specifically highlighted by the social workers questioned: families (particularly single-parent families), senior citizens, young people and foreigners. In addition, people with disabilities (adults, children and their parents) feature more prominently this year than previously.
  
In matters of social work, the challenges specifically underlined by professionals are: a shared feeling of being confronted with a lack of funding and resources, enabling them to meet all the needs identified, a continuing need to reinforce access to rights and support and the essential role, given by respondents to partnership coordination in a context where some strong partnerships already exist and others, in their opinion, need to be created or strengthened.
