Access to healthcare, housing and justice is not always guaranteed for poor people. This report from the Service for the fight against poverty, insecurity and social exclusion provides a valuable contribution to the political debate and policy considerations. It describes the circumstances in which poor people live, and makes recommendations aimed at improving their living conditions. Structural reforms are more than necessary but we cannot lose focus on the reimbursement of healthcare costs, water and energy supply and the payment of a rental guarantee and lawyer fees either.
