• Advocacy groups report 350,000 homeless individuals and 2.6 million pending social housing requests, highlighting the scale of the housing crisis.
• The Kasbarian-Bergé law, passed in July 2023, has expedited evictions and reduced tenant protections, intensifying the strain on low-income renters.
