The initiative provides shelter for the homeless and aims to prevent death by hypothermia during the coldest months of the year.

The Minister for Family Affairs, Integration and the Greater Region partnered up with Inter-Action, Croix-Rouge Luxembourg and Caritas Accueil et Solidarité for this campaign.

The Foyer de Jour (day foyer) recorded 17,000 visits consisting of 1,316 people, of these, 45% were Luxembourgers, 45.06% hailed from EU countries and 44,51% from outside the EU.

The Foyer de Nuit (night foyer) registered 773 individuals across 14,000 overnight stays.

Numbers have gone down since last year. This could be due to milder temperatures over the winter.
