Question 13889 — housing

Summary

Mr. Frédéric Falcon alerts the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, responsible for housing, about the State's disengagement in social housing. On Tuesday, October 3, 2023, the president of the Social Union for Housing (USH), Ms. Emmanuelle Cosse, denounced the State's drain on rent revenues from social landlords, to the tune of one billion three hundred million euros. In fact, the Finance law for 2018 introduced a new system aimed at reducing the cost, for the State, of personalized housing assistance (APL) by creating a reduction in rents received by public or private HLM organizations. In 2020, the Court of Auditors wrote a report on the first findings drawn from the design and implementation of the solidarity rent reduction system (RLS), warning of its negative effects for social housing. It highlights the financial consequences for social housing, revealing in particular a reduction in rental yields of 4.5% directly linked to the introduction of this system. This same report observes a drop in investments in the HLM sector, with a delay in the commitment of social landlords to the new urban renovation program (NPNRU). In addition, maintenance expenditure records a decrease of 7% in value. This reduction in funds allocated to social housing is part of an overall policy of State disengagement in favor of housing policy. The housing crisis that the French are experiencing is the direct consequence of these budgetary choices. The MP asks the Minister if he will conduct an assessment of the impact of the solidarity rent reduction (RLS) on the sustainability of social housing. He also asks him if he intends to establish a strong dialogue with the players in this sector, in order to adapt this system to the needs of investment and renovation.
