Question 443 — housing

Summary

Ms. Anaïs Belouassa-Cherifi draws the attention of the Minister of Housing and Urban Renewal to the situation of emergency accommodation in the Metropolis of Lyon. In August 2024, two infants aged five and eleven days and their families were returned to the streets. This fact is not isolated: more and more people, including those belonging to priority groups in care, remain homeless. Between 2021 and 2024, we estimates the increase in the number of children left without accommodation after requesting 115 to be 120%. In Lyon, the Jamais Sans Toit association counts 107 children in this situation, a third of whom are accommodated in the city's schools. In the presentation of the latest UNICEF barometer of homeless children, their spokesperson Raphael Vulliez recalled how short-term solutions are disproportionately expensive, ineffective and painful for families. The livelihood of women and children on the streets in the city relies heavily on the action of associations and collectives and depends on the means at their disposal. The emergency unfortunately does not only concern the Rhône but the entire territory. However, the State is responsible for providing shelter via emergency accommodation (art. L345-2-2 and L345-2-3 of the code of social action and families). In a report published Tuesday October 1, 2024, the Court of Auditors criticizes the State for having “chosen to act as if the growth in needs for emergency accommodation was temporary”, which weighs on the quality of this public policy, despite the promise of the President of the Republic, made in the fall of 2022, that there would be no more children on the street the following year. She therefore expresses her concern to him and asks him about the Government's intentions in terms of emergency accommodation and more generally about the means allocated to housing to rehouse people with dignity, the evolution of homelessness resulting directly from the solutions given for social housing.
