Paris (AFP) – Hundreds of thousands of households “the gates of the housing,” a worsening situation and to fail and saturated aid devices: the Abbé Pierre Foundation made a report “painful” the un- housing in France, in its 20th annual report released Tuesday.
Reflecting on 20 years of housing policy, the report notes that the crisis still violently strikes families and leaves to the street more people
The figures attest. nearly ten million people in fragile situations in relation to housing, 3.5 million poorly housed in the strict sense (homeless in chamber hotel, camping in makeshift shelters, inadequate housing or in very difficult housing conditions.)
The expulsions have not bowed. In 2013, 120,000 for unpaid expulsion decisions were rendered. Zahra, 52, is in this case, threatened with eviction from her two-room apartment of 55 m2, where she lives with her four children, for unpaid rent for a year and a half. This independent illustrator-visual which has no right to help “can no longer make ends meet,” since her ex-husband, who paid a monthly support 2,700 euros, died suddenly. “This is the free fall,” she said, stay until the end of the winter break
The situation also worsened for the most excluded. The number of homeless has increased 50% in ten years, with 141,500 adults and children involved in 2012. And the profiles are diversified: in addition to the families, whose numbers jumped, there are more and more young people to the streets of asylum seekers and psychiatric patients.
“The assistive devices are no longer appropriate and are engorged,” says Domergue Manuel, Director of Foundation Studies. And 1.8 million households are waiting for social housing, while only 450,000 are awarded every year
-. ‘Reduce overnights’ –
Similarly 355.000 requests for accommodation for the homeless were made during the winter 2013-2014 according to the barometer of 115, but only 140,000 places were awarded. And homeless families, primarily hosted at the hotel, including Ile-de-France, are also found in the street, because the device, which is very expensive, is full.
situation recognized by the government, which launches on Tuesday, “a three-year plan to reduce overnights”, “replaced by more sustainable solutions,” said the entourage of the Minister of Housing, Sylvia Pinel.
” Mobility is no longer, people have trouble getting out of assistive devices, “says Domergue manual. As a result, some people, disillusioned, from seeking help, sometimes preferring to stay in substandard housing or sleeping in the street rather than calling every night 115.
“It is a fact painful, “said the managing director of the Foundation, Christophe Robert. “The tools were calibrated in 1990, but it does not follow, because of the massification of insecurity.”
Several texts have attempted to improve the situation, as the SRU law requiring municipalities to produce social housing or Dalo law requiring the state to re-house the poor, but many “obstacles” remain: a “housing crisis underestimated,” “social housing policies constrained by the rigor”, but also ” by ideology “which involves” support the market “rather than regulate. Besides “a failing territorial policy” and “the weight of lobbies” of real estate, he insists.
He said 2014 was the year of “deep denial,” with the “unraveling of the Alur law”, including coaching and universal guarantee of rents, which have been restricted. “This is not going in the direction of the fight against inequality.”
“The report points to a change of direction from the government, but the objectives in the fight against poor housing remain the same” ensures the entourage of the Minister.
