La discrimination autour des sans-abri (SDF) peut se rencontrer au sein de structures assurant leur hébergement : les lits halte-soins santé (LHSS). Il peut s’agir du racisme développé au sein de ces communautés, mais aussi d’une incompréhension du mode de vie de ces populations par les professionnels de santé. Les sans-abris véhiculent trop souvent une image négative auprès de la population française, élément les marginalisant d’autant plus.

Discrimination amongst homeless people can also be seen within community care units, which have been specifically designed to provide a period of medical and social support to homeless patients (LHSS). Racism can develop from within the heart of the community itself but also amongst health care professionals, fuelled by a lack of understanding of the lifestyle of this population. Moreover, homeless people often convey a negative image amongst the French population, which in turn increases their marginalization.
