Question 15065 — housing

Summary

Mr. Abdelkader Lahmar questions the Minister of Cities and Housing on the lack of ambition and vision of the housing bill, announced on April 23, 2026, after a decade of questionable political decisions which did not make it possible to stem the housing crisis that the country is experiencing. Thus, many thermal strainers could be rented out in exchange for signing a contract to carry out the work. For However, the text remains silent on the terms of this commitment, the consequences in the event of failure to carry out energy saving work and, above all, the terms of compensation for tenants for the period during which they will occupy an energy sieve, with all the consequences that result from this: poor housing, increase in bills, deterioration of the health of the occupants, etc. It is a real gift to the merchants of sleep and other crooked owners that the Government is preparing to do. Renting substandard housing will therefore be authorized against a vague promise of future work. For almost 20 years, many landlords have not taken advantage of the tools at their disposal to carry out energy saving work or have knowingly slowed down decision-making on the renovation of buildings. By choosing to give even more time to landlords, without real supervision or reflection on tenant compensation, the Government is championing procrastination, thus rewarding landlords who have not carried out any work while others have been able to embark on energy renovation operations. Furthermore, by strengthening the powers of mayors to the detriment of that of prefects in the allocation of social housing, the Government chooses to encourage phenomena of local clientelism that are harmful to access to the right to housing for the most precarious citizens. As for the relaunch of the urban renewal policy, it looks like an empty promise with no future. No budget has been put forward even though the State is already a very poor payer in its payments to the ANRU. Above all, no assessment is made of the defects and failures of previous renovation plans urban. For this policy to truly serve citizens and allow everyone to have decent housing, we must start from the needs on the ground, co-construct projects with residents and above all put an end to the logic of “demolition-reconstruction” to favor renovation and the preservation of historic residents everywhere. Urban planners, architects, tenant associations and those fighting for the right to housing regularly sound the alarm and tirelessly propose ambitious and practicable measures to put an end to the housing crisis and make the right to housing a reality for everyone. However, they are never listened to by the Government, which demonstrates a lack of political will on this fundamental subject. He asks him if he's finally going take stock of the housing crisis by throwing out this ineffective and unfair bill and finally agreeing to build, with those on the ground, a housing policy worthy of the name.
