Question 6300 — housing

Summary

Mr. Julien Gokel alerts the Minister to the Minister of Regional Planning and Decentralization, responsible for housing, on the situation of many retirees with modest incomes, faced with rising rents while being excluded from the benefit of personalized housing assistance (APL). In a context of stagnating pensions and increasing rents, it is becoming more and more common for the rental charge to represent almost half of income, even though the reasonable effort threshold is generally estimated at a third. According to INSEE, nearly one in two retirees receive a pension of less than 1,500 euros per month and more than 600,000 retirees live below the poverty line. This precariousness often remains invisible, particularly among those living alone. Some retirees, housed for many years in social housing, thus find themselves in difficulty accessing housing more suited to their age or state of health. The prospect of turning to private housing is often out of reach, as the rents there are inaccessible given their financial situation. It is also very difficult for them to obtain housing in new social housing, due to the level of rents, lack of availability and sometimes long delays in allocation. This situation blocks their residential journey and prevents them from getting closer to essential services or those around them, contributing to their isolation and a form of silent insecurity. He therefore asks what measures the Government intends to take to better support low-income retired tenants, in particular by reassessing the criteria for granting APL, by strengthening assistance for the adaptation of social housing, or by creating a specific support for elderly people currently excluded from housing assistance schemes.
