Guillaume Kasbarian, Minister for Housing: a pragmatic profile that will effectively respond to the challenges of citizens and professionals

I am delighted to express here my support and confidence in the appointment of Guillaume Kasbarian as Minister Delegate for Housing. In these times when housing issues are multiple and profound, France needs action figures like Guillaume Kasbarian to finally establish a clear, fair and pragmatic housing policy.

Its roadmap is shared by 68 million citizens, 3 million private landlords and 300.000 real estate professionals:

Install an emergency solution for winter 2024, 70 years after the awareness caused by Abbé Pierre
Restore confidence to real estate investors who give up on purchasing or prefer to leave their homes vacant to avoid risks, compulsory work and taxation sometimes considered too heavy and complex
Relaunch the construction of new housing, without further widening the deficit through tax exemption programs inevitably criticized by all
Rethink the inept calculation of energy performance and limit its impact on the exit of rental housing from the market
Re-interest landlords in putting their vacant homes up for rent (3M vacant homes today, soon 5M)

Guillaume Kasbarian has distinguished himself by his commitment and his concrete actions, in particular with his contribution to the anti-squat law. Confusing the character and this useful but polarizing text would be a dishonest shortcut and far too easy for his detractors.

Guillaume Kasbarian has both a holistic and field vision of housing. He understands that housing is not just about construction and regulation policies, but that it affects fundamental aspects of our society such as social inclusion, the revitalization of neighborhoods and territories and environmental impact. construction and occupation.

I am convinced that Guillaume Kasbarian will be able to implement innovative, courageous and inclusive policies, driven by his experience and his parliamentary commitment.

With Guillaume Kasbarian at the helm, I am optimistic about our ability to meet immediate and longer-term challenges, and to build a fair, useful and sustainable housing policy.

I therefore warmly congratulate Guillaume Kasbarian on his appointment and wish him every success in his new role with Christophe Béchu.
