Solidarity of the Church with the families and the young couples looking for a house in a property market that is becoming more and more selective due to inaccessible prices, especially in the areas around the big metropolis of Paris, in the departments of Hauts-de-Seine and Ile-de-France. This is the start of the "Solidarieté logement" campaign, promoted by the diocese of Nanterre in conjunction with the Labour Mission, Caritas and the Abbé Pierre Foundation, which drew up a file about the property market and its consequences on the lives of 4 million families that every year set out in search of a house. According to the file, only 800 thousand of such families have access to a property. For the others especially if they have a limited budget , it is the start of a "truly difficult process, which often turns into social deterioration as a first step". "Can Christians writes father Bernard Cheveau, delegate for the diocese of Nanterre to the Labour Mission wash their hands of the fate of these brothers and sisters of ours?" The "Solidarieté logement" campaign, promoted by the diocese of Nanterre, includes an awareness-raising day on Sunday 10th February. Paris too is taking action through a series of events focussed on such problem to be held during the Charity Festival.
