Question 12205 — housing

Summary

Ms. Clémentine Autain questions the Secretary of State, attached to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men, about the lack of shelter and accommodation places for single or accompanied women, with or without children under the age of three. In the department of Seine-Saint-Denis, during the summer of 2018, 54 families were without a housing solution when they left the maternity ward with their infant, partly sheltered thanks to hotel nights obtained by 115. When men or women in distress call 115, they are sometimes confronted with the application of criteria aimed at prioritizing social and economic misery. This was particularly the case in the Hauts-de-Seine department in the summer of 2018, which had exceeded the quota of hotel nights. Thus, single mothers and more particularly those accompanied by children less than three years should be given priority. Through a system of communicating vessels, families whose children are just three years and a few days old are put on the street to try to accommodate children barely younger. If the department of Seine-Saint-Denis was not confronted with this ceiling limiting overnight stays in the summer of 2018, it is because the existing places are not even enough to reach it. Upgrade solutions shelter are clearly not up to the real need. Worse, they are not part of an objective of lasting reduction of poor housing. Only 3% of people leaving emergency accommodation do so for permanent accommodation. Local associations are facing the drop in budgets and the reduction in credits allocated to BOP 177 announced in March 2018 by 9%. On the one hand, the Government announced the objective of reducing the budget of 57 million euros in four years for accommodation and social reintegration centers (CHRS). On the other hand, the Government has indicated that it wants to maintain 5,000 additional emergency accommodation units (CHU). So what is the objective of this policy, which would aim to increase the number of shelter places while reducing the resources dedicated to the support and social reintegration of people in very difficult circumstances? In Seine-Saint-Denis, there are between 150 and 200 people calling 115 without obtaining any response. Figures which absolutely do not measure the number of families who no longer even try to contact the service. Cities, departments and associations work to guide families on a day-to-day basis without any certainty of being able to welcome them in a lasting manner. The State has a legal obligation to shelter any vulnerable person. She asks him to provide details concerning the new and additional means envisaged to improve shelter and accommodation and the care of women alone or accompanied by children without penalizing families and isolated women who would be considered non-priority.
