Overview
- Green mayoral candidate David Belliard proposes adding two permanent sites and four mobile units to complement Paris’s single supervised consumption room.
- The expansion would focus on north‑east Paris, with a fixed site sought in the Rosa‑Parks area and locations under consideration around Stalingrad to reach users where street use is concentrated.
- Paris currently operates one HSA near Gare du Nord/Lariboisière that sees roughly 300 passages per day and more than 800 users annually, with teams described as overloaded.
- Lawmakers voted to continue financing HSAs through 2027, and Health Minister Stéphanie Rist endorsed the approach and said a government report will be transmitted to parliament.
- Supporters cite reduced street harms such as about 30% fewer discarded syringes and stronger care pathways, while critics question the evidence base as the issue enters the 2026 municipal campaign.
