Emmanuelle Cosse wishes to extend rent control in cities other than Paris – Le Monde

Emmanuelle Cosse, Housing Minister, in  Paris, on 11 March 2016.

the ALUR Act of March 24, 2014 plans to regulate rents in 28 cities. Six months later, in August 2014, Manuals Valls renounced this flagship disposal for applying it in Paris. Will you extend this

I’ve set three key areas: ecological renovation of housing, solidarity and emergency housing, and access to affordable housing. The rent regulation is one of the tools of that priority.

The experiment began in Paris, where rents have soared by 34% in ten years. I see that it’s effective. The device is set up quickly because the city already had a rent observatory prerequisite for setting reference values. It also has the merit to bring more transparency to the market. Tenants who make recourse to the conciliation commission get significant declines in rents. For the first time, we tackle abuse and speculation. It does not block rents, more excessive is removed, especially for small housing, which gives the purchasing power, especially young people

in Lille, after two years of observation and local debates, we will be able, with the mayor, implement rent control at the end of 2016. Three or four other cities, including Paris area, could follow. This requires time and interaction with communities and professionals. Already, 23 observatories work, covering 30 cities.

As for the ALUR law is a great law. What matters to me now is its implementation. Of the 108 measures that needed implementing regulations, 70 have already been published. I intend that in the summer, 90% of provisions are in force

the young people marched against the insecurity that complicates their access to housing. Some mentioned the removal of housing benefit for students. As for universal coverage for renters, again, this promise was abandoned …

I have assurances that the housing benefits for students will not be affected. Housing allowances have a budget some weight (18 billion) but it is not full social crisis that we must reduce them. The plan of 40,000 housing students on the five year progresses.

Issued in eight days, student Accommodation deposit [Key] , set up in September 2014, has already 20 000 students to find accommodation. With Visale device, Action Housing [former 1% housing] was established in February a guarantee for young workers and apprentices. I want to know this guarantee easier access to housing for young people.

Francois Hollande has set in 2012, the goal of 500,000 units renovated per year by in 2017. It is still far off. How to speed up this project, the pillar of the energy transition?

This project is important for three reasons. It gives purchasing power to households by reducing their energy costs. It promotes employment since the work is primarily carried out by local craftsmen. Finally, it helps to significantly reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases.

The objectives are not yet achieved, but there are significant changes for two years, I’ll speed up. With Ségolène Royal, I got increased from 50 000 to 70 000 the number of housing renovated with the help of the National Habitat Agency [ANAH] , for households the more precarious. And in 2017 it will increase to 100 000 units, that is my priority.

The ANAH will also process 40 000 dwellings in degraded condominiums. To this must be added this year 40 000 other units renovated with the support of eco-interest loan, this is our goal. Bringing to 150,000 the number of private dwellings renovated

In social housing, renovations involve 100,000 housing today. In the coming weeks, new loans to the Deposit will allow to increase to 135 000. This increases considerably the pace, which should no longer decrease. I fought for funding.

To meet our energy transition goals, do we not speed up the introduction of new building performance requirements?

the next regulation will simply be heat: it is environmental, including carbon footprint. It is important that professionals can anticipate this future standard, which we already start working. As on other issues, I do it in conjunction with all stakeholders. My goal is to find the right standard, useful, without reducing our environmental and energy requirements, including renewable energy in the building. And to have this new standard in 2018. We have to take that schedule because European professionals them forward

How to deal with hosting growing needs of homeless?

This is a subject close to my heart, for which the State made an unprecedented effort: we went from 80 0000-110 000 permanent seats since 2012. But we must go further. We want to end the “management thermometer” because insecurity is not limited to the seasons, and limit the use of hotel nights which are very expensive and do not allow a social monitoring quality. I hope as in 2015 sustain again 2000 winter places. This is arbitration.

Upstream, we must also prevent evictions, intervening from the first unpaid rent, without waiting situations become inextricable. Some social landlords with very poor get there. This is my method and my idea of ​​a ministry of housing and sustainable habitat
