Question 24074 — housing

Summary

Ms. Constance Le Grip alerts the Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities on the consequences of Decree No. 2019-497 of May 22, 2019 relating to the occupation of premises by temporary residents. Indeed, the decree mentioned, in application of the ELAN law, profoundly modifies the system by making administrative procedures more cumbersome which refer the issuance of approval to the prefectures. The administration then has four months to provide a response. The absence of a response is synonymous with refusal, with no obligation to provide reasons for the decision. The immediate risk of this decree is to discourage investment by potential owners while demand and urgency are a daily reality in France. Furthermore, this complexity, contrary to the intention of the legislator, endangers this system whose However, there are many advantages. The temporary occupation of vacant premises, for a low fee (200 euros maximum) helps to ensure the preservation of French real estate and the maintenance of buildings. It is an element of response to the crisis of poor housing for hundreds of isolated people and contributes to social diversity by making it possible to house people with statuses as diverse as police officers, internal in medicine or pharmacy, apprenticeship students, but also families waiting for long-term housing. In addition, the decree forces operators to integrate emergency accommodation to the detriment of current tenants, even though operators do not have the skills and know-how required for emergency accommodation eligible for this measure. However, the obligation to integrate quotas within existing systems will cause current beneficiaries to be put on the street. Furthermore, the decree imposes additional constraints on operators, in particular the implementation of integration and social support measures for people eligible for emergency accommodation even though this is a mission technically devolved to the State and associations. Consequently, she wishes to know what measures she intends to take the Government in order to remedy the destabilizing effects, and contrary to the will of the legislator, of the decree mentioned.
