Municipal resources for providing such shelter are limited, French daily Le Figaro reported that Strasbourg Mayor Jeanne Barseghian told a press conference.
"Shelter is a matter for the state, there is a deficiency, I decided that the city of Strasbourg would sue the state for damages due to this failure," she said.
Barseghian gave no date for when she would file suit but urged elected officials and civic groups to support the initiative.
Strasbourg, population some 280,000, lies near the German border, and is the formal seat of the European Parliament.
