What is the status of the housing stock of social housing today? The objective of Borloo build 100,000 homes per year by injecting 250 million euros extra in the budget it sound feasible and sufficient?
- Borloo committed to build 400,000 homes in 2005 alone. According to the latest figures I have, 100,000 cases are waiting for housing in Paris, 350,000 in Ile-de-France, 1.3 million on the entire French territory. Quantitatively, we can say that these 400,000 homes are inadequate but it will still unlock the situation a bit of requests for access to housing.
The current situation of inaction of successive policies on housing. 400,000 homes built, okay, but will he stop there? The social cohesion plan provided for 500,000 homes in 5 years. Will they overlap with others?
The consequence of the failure of housing supply is inflation. Rents are rising because demand is too high relative to supply.
Some ways exist to address this, but governments have not been proven.
Housing assistance has been increased by 1.8%, while private rents have risen 4.57% since the beginning of the year, and that no revaluation was made in 2004. To account for the increase in rents, housing assistance should have been upgraded by 6%.
Moreover, the minister wants to create a new index to replace the index the construction costs for which changes are significant, but in the medium term it will come back to the same.
Some aid is also provided to assist in access to housing and we must continue in this direction. For example, ANAH subsidizes the work to improve housing for some donors who agree to rent at a lower price than the market.
As for zero-interest loans for homeownership, it can help in a number of cases. 20,000 loans per month have been granted since early February. Increase its scope is a good thing, but it is not ready to zero that will solve all problems.
400,000 homes built, we could do better, but already he gets there ... Will it really necessary funds? A priori funds have been released but it seems so huge that it's hard to achieve.
shame that it took that dilapidated buildings caught fire and that lives are at stake to react ...
Municipalities should all have 20% of social housing. Where are we today? Do you think sanctions will actually be enforced? Loans over 50 years they will grow mayors to build?
- The threshold of 20% social housing in the municipalities was already included in the SRU. So there already but the fines are so low that cities would rather pay than build public housing. It is a political problem. The mayors who have built are often threatened not to be reelected. The threshold of 20% social housing is a good thing but in practice nothing is done to verify the application and implement effective sanctions. The intention is good but we must see how it happen.
Beyond the technical and financial problem of the construction is a problem of will of mayors. Housing office has a bad reputation. We think it will devalue the neighborhood, make a poor population that housing will not be maintained and will be degraded. These live shots of many people and therefore voters who put pressure on mayors.
Regarding the loan over 50 years, I'm not sure it will have an impact. Some mayors are interested, I'm not saying that these loans will be at a loss, but they will not solve the underlying problem. I hope the reality show otherwise, but I doubt it.
The construction of social housing is one thing. The assumption of this accommodation is one another. The minister expect anything to facilitate the accession of the poorest families?
- The construction and home are linked. If there is congestion because too few dwellings are proposed and must therefore be selective. With more housing, we will promote the social home. Construction is expected to enable poorer families to access it.
However, we must not only build social housing. We must also develop the intermediate and private homes. Any middle class earns too much for access to public housing but too little access to private housing. We must see the problem housing as a whole. Regarding the award process itself, I do not think it is challenged.
