Homelessness in France – level 1

17-04-2019 15:00

In 2001, 93,000 people in France live on the streets. In 2012, 141,000 people live on the streets. More and more people in France do not have homes. The situation is getting worse. One person dies every day there because they do not have a home.

The United Nations looks at the situation in France. The UN says that the French government is not working to lower the homelessness. The UN says that France must do something about this problem.

Difficult words: government (the ‘bosses/leaders’ of a country), lower (make less/smaller), homelessness (the situation when somebody is homeless – has no home).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
