Building professionals react to Prime Minister's announcements on housing

The FFB first of all welcomes the dual awareness illustrated by this announcement: that of a deep housing crisis in large cities and that of the need to build to meet long-term housing needs, in all areas. territories.

The FFB supported the recommendation for full support by the State of the property tax exemptions on built properties (TFPB) today suffered by local communities for social rental construction.

The FFB is therefore delighted that this measure has been announced by the government, for the first ten years of housing service. The social rental sector will thus be able to play its usual role more easily during the recovery phases.

As for the transformation of aid to relaunching sustainable construction, the FFB was also in favor, provided that this new device remains easy to use. It regrets, however, that the device remains limited to areas deemed to be dense, while “zero net artificialization” will come into force on the rest of the territory.

Olivier Salleron, the president of the FFB, “Welcomes these first notable advances resulting from the work of the Rebsamen Commission. They mark the beginning of a return to favor for housing in political discourse and reinforce the collective effort in favor of the social stock, but also the redeployment of the private stock by capillarity. The FFB is now pushing for Volume II of the Rebsamen report to amplify the work of simplification and acceleration of town planning procedures, and to remove local obstacles to construction. "
