The Festival Iminente runs at the former Escola Industrial Afonso Domingues in Marvila from 17 to 20 September. Six people live there. The same six who were counted in July, which suggests none took the council's Housing First offer.

The interim figures from the PSP's fourteenth annual outreach operation: 386 visits since 27 July, 284 people flagged, 182 in social risk. Lack of autonomy led the list, but the categories that grew fastest were the ones about isolation. The operation runs to 25 September.
