Question 17998 — housing

Summary

Mr. Aly Diouara draws the attention of the Minister of Cities and Housing to the persistent difficulties encountered by households recognized as priority under the right to housing enforceable in Seine-Saint-Denis and to the financial consequences of the cost of penalties borne by the State. Law No. 2007-290 of March 5, 2007 establishing the enforceable right to housing imposes on the State an obligation of result with regard to households recognized as priorities and requiring urgent rehousing. Nearly twenty years after its adoption, the effectiveness of this right remains seriously compromised in the territories where the housing crisis is the strongest. The year 2025 marked a new record, with 133,405 DALO appeals filed in France, an increase of 7% in one year. In total, 39,444 households were recognized as priorities and in need of urgent rehousing. THE recourse remains highly concentrated geographically, since nineteen departments, including the eight Ile-de-France departments, account for 85.1%. Seine-Saint-Denis is particularly concerned. According to the regional and interdepartmental directorate for accommodation and housing (DRIHL), 13,146 DALO appeals were filed there in 2024. In 2025, 42% of appeals examined in the department resulted in a favorable decision, compared to 30.2% nationally. This high rate reflects the seriousness of the poor housing situations encountered by residents of the department. This situation takes place in a particularly difficult social context. According to the latest data from the Observatory of Inequalities, 28.4% of the inhabitants of Seine-Saint-Denis live below the poverty line, or around 444,000 people. Many households are also faced with overcrowding, substandard housing, lack of personal housing or abnormally long delays in accessing social housing. When a household recognized as a priority is not rehoused within the regulatory deadline, it can petition the administrative court for an injunction. The judge can then order the prefect to rehouse him and accompany this injunction with a penalty. In 2024, the penalties borne by the State for the non-execution of DALO decisions and paid to the National Support Fund towards and in housing amounted to 40.8 million euros at the national level. Île-de-France concentrated 38.6 million euros, or almost 95% of the total amount. Thus, the deputy questions the minister for the department of Seine-Saint-Denis alone on the annual amount of fines paid by the State to the National Fund support towards and in housing (FNAVDL) due to the non-execution of DALO decisions for each year since 2008. It also asks for each of the last five years the number of households recognized as priority and requiring emergency rehousing in Seine-Saint-Denis, the number of households rehoused within the regulatory deadlines and the number of households remaining waiting beyond a period of five years. He finally wishes find out how the Government intends to sustainably reduce rehousing times, prevent the repetition of sentences handed down against the State and guarantee the effective application of Law No. 2007-290 of March 5, 2007 establishing the enforceable right to housing.
