Question 7821 — poverty

Summary

Ms. Anaïs Belouassa-Cherifi draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to the dramatic consequences of the removal of subsidies to the Rhône federation of Secours populaire français, a fundamental association in the fight against precariousness. Indeed, the departmental directorate of employment, labor and solidarity recently announced that it would put an end to the two subsidies from which the structure benefited, on the grounds of a refocusing of food credits on a limited number of actions with departmental and structural purposes, particularly in white areas. However, this financial aid meets precisely these criteria. One participates in the departmental coordination of food aid and logistics, the other supports the fight against food insecurity among students. This financing is therefore fully consistent with the objectives stated by the administration. Thus, the 27 structures in the Rhône department affiliated with Secours populaire welcomed 19,403 people, including 8,672 children, from more than 60 municipalities, and distributed 182,552 food aids in 2024. These figures demonstrate the indispensable nature of Secours populaire's action in the department. One of these subsidies had also been increased ago two years by the Prefect of Rhône, in recognition of the quality of the work accomplished and to compensate for an amount frozen at 15,000 euros for more than fifteen years. Such a development makes the decision which has just been announced all the more incomprehensible. This decision comes in a context of violent undermining of the right to food in the country. According to a study by the Research Center for the Study and Observation of living conditions (Crédoc), 16% of French people said they would not be able to eat their fill in 2023, while more than 20% of students resort to food aid according to a survey conducted by the National Observatory of Student Life (OVE). Solidarity cannot be sacrificed in the name of budgetary decisions. She asks her if she intends to reverse this decision and maintain the necessary support for Secours populaire français, which Solidarity actions are essential for several thousand citizens.

   Réponse

   Le Gouvernement est pleinement conscient des tensions que rencontrent les structures d'aide alimentaire. En 2025, les services déconcentrés ont reçu, dès avril, une première vague de délégation de crédits à hauteur de 57,65 M€, comprenant 39,25 M€ de crédits to the title of the programme mieux manger pour tous, dont 10 M€ supplémentaires par rapport à l'année 2024. Toutefois, à l'inverse des années précédentes, aucun crédit complémentaire n'a été prévu dans la loi de finances de fin de gestion 2024. Ainsi, pour répondre aux difficultés remontées par les associations et les préfets, le Gouvernement s'est engagé en juillet 2025 à abonder de 10 M€ supplémentaires les crédits en région. L'affectation de ces crédits constitue un effort supplémentaire important pour le budget du programme 304 (support des dépenses de l'Etat relatives à la lutte contre la pauvreté et des dépenses concourant à l'inclusion sociale et à la protection des personnes), et, bien que l'enveloppe ne permette pas de couvrir the whole ofs besoins exprimés, elle a vocation à répondre en priorité aux situations d'urgence, notamment celles présentant un risque de fermeture d'associations. Une attention particulière est accordée à la précarité étudiante dans les territoires.
