More and more advantages for intermediate housing, more and more constraints on social housing

It is not a question of calling into question the usefulness of intermediate housing as recalled in the forum of the congress HLM Marcel Rogemont, president of the FOPH but only to compare the advantages of the ones and the others.

It should be remembered that intermediate housing escapes the RLS (reduction in solidarity rent which weighs heavily on social landlords) and the control of overcompensation of State aid to HLM organizations which will result in an additional levy on landlords. In addition, there is reason to fear the eviction of social housing from certain territories for the benefit of the LLI with the removal of the constraint to integrate at least 25% of LLS in each housing complex including intermediate housing, amendment adopted by the LLI. 'National Assembly on November 10, 2021. Finally, let us stress that the rents of the LLI are twice higher than those of the PLUS.

The Government, through the voice of the Prime Minister at the HLM congress, announced that it wanted to transform the 20-year exemption from the TFPB payable by local authorities into an equivalent tax credit payable by the State. Even though the State agrees to lower its tax revenues to boost the production of intermediate housing, why does it refuse to lower its tax revenues to promote the construction of social housing by returning to a VAT at 5,5% on the PLUS, even the PLS, when we have more than 2 million people waiting for low-cost housing in France.

"Why is the state aid to the LLI higher than that of the PLUS when the rents are twice as high?" What should we conclude about current politics? Is HLM housing always a priority? It is permissible to strongly doubt it " asks Marcel Rogemont, president of the Federation of Public Housing Offices.
