Question 17540 — building and public works

Summary

Mr. Léo Walter alerts the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, responsible for housing, about the difficulties encountered by construction and public works companies in his department. In the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, it is increasingly difficult to find accommodation. Rent prices are reaching levels that make access to housing more and more difficult for inhabitants and in particular for the youngest. At the same time, the price of land and construction is experiencing a continuous increase, to which is added that of credit rates and inflation. For their part, construction professionals are worried because their situation is increasingly precarious and fragile. In this very rural department, these are essentially small and very small businesses, faced with in competition with large companies from Vaucluse, Var and Bouches-du-Rhône, themselves affected by the same difficulties and who are looking for other outlets nearby. In this context, the renovation of existing housing is an important issue. However, the decision of the Minister of the Economy to eliminate one billion euros for the MaPrimeRénov system, as well as the cut of five hundred million euros from the Green Fund, are considered counterproductive for both professionals and individuals. Furthermore, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, there are only two “Renov' guides” for one of the largest departments in France: this is largely insufficient, as evidenced by the collapse in requests for help. The ministry's recent announcements on this subject do not calm the concerns of professionals in the sector: shifting their missions to companies labeled “RGE” is a solution which strongly questions the objectivity and impartiality of the expertise. He therefore asks him what measures he intends to take to support the construction industry in this difficult time; he reminds him that there is an urgent need to take proactive measures allowing access to decent housing for all, such as differentiated taxation of second homes, a legislation allowing municipalities (including the smallest) to act on the “hollow teeth” present in many villages, the requisition of vacant housing, the control of land prices and rents.
