Question 39689 — housing

Summary

Ms. Laurianne Rossi draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Ecological Transition, responsible for housing, to the situation of independent tenant associations which, due to the law of January 27, 2017 relating to equality and citizenship, no longer have the possibility of presenting lists for elections of tenant representatives on the boards of directors of social housing organizations (OPH, SA of HLM and SEM of construction and management of social housing) without being affiliated to a national organization sitting on the National Consultation Commission, the National Housing Council or the National Consumer Council whereas since the first elections of this type, in 1983, no affiliation was required. As part of the examination of the bill relating to the evolution of housing, development and digital (ELAN), several amendments have been tabled to return to previous law, allowing independent tenant associations to participate in the elections of representatives in social housing organizations. These amendments were not adopted but the Secretary of State responsible for social cohesion recognized that “participation in these elections was decreasing very significantly” and that the tenants “said they did not not feel represented by national associations”. He added, on July 20, 2018, before the Senate, “that it seems possible to us to find another solution to satisfy everyone. It is a question of approving an association which would be a federation of independent tenant associations, which could be a structure to which the independent associations would be attached. She asks if this solution is currently put into practice and if federations of independent associations which requested it were able to integrate the national bodies allowing them to present lists in the next elections of tenant representatives.
