Reaching out to people on the street means, above all, not imposing yourself on them and not judging them [Interview].

Reaching out to people living on the streets requires an ethical approach: acting with humility, in a non-intrusive and non-coercive manner. François Chobeaux emphasizes that we must always keep in mind that these individuals find themselves without institutional ties, not because they “don’t know how,” but because shelters and mainstream services have contributed to placing them in a situation of exclusion, given their life experiences.
