Question 4915 — housing

Summary

Mrs Sira Sylla questions the Minister of Territorial Cohesion on the advisability of widening the resource ceilings of social housing tenants and of introducing a progressive scaling of the amount of rents offered according to the tenants' income. Indeed, many worried social landlords in her constituency questioned her about the housing policy pursued by the Government. The drop in aid personalized housing (APL) imposes, in reality, greater reductions in the rents offered by social landlords. This reduction, combined with the increase in value added tax (VAT) from 5.5% to 10%, generates a loss, for social landlords, of 8% to 10% of their overall resources, which is equivalent, by 2020, to a loss equal to around 3 million euros. Let us also specify that the debt of lessors social, being indexed to the Livret A rate (although the Government has announced a blocking of variations in this rate until 2020), risks generating additional expenditure in the medium term. As a result, their ability to invest and construct quality buildings will be impacted. We could widen the resource ceilings for claiming social housing and establish three distinct categories of social housing: first level of “economic housing” for residents with resources below 60% of the maximum ceiling; a second level of “median housing” for residents with resources ranging from 60% to 90% of the maximum ceiling; a third level of “superior housing” intended for residents with resources ranging from 90% to 120% of the maximum ceiling. This proposal would balance the finances of social landlords while promoting social diversity within French social parks. She would like to know her position on such a proposal.
