The government will no longer allocate housing to the most precarious in priority neighborhoods in order to promote diversity

Objective: to promote social diversity. The government will ask prefects to no longer allocate housing in priority neighborhoods to households in greatest difficulty, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne announced this Friday.

“I ask the prefects to no longer settle, through the allocation of housing or the creation of accommodation places, the most precarious people in the neighborhoods which already concentrate the most difficulties,” declared the head of government at the end of the Interministerial Committee of Cities (CIV), held in Chanteloup-les-Vignes (Yvelines).

“All the difficulties cannot be gathered in one place. Diversity is an opportunity. It is necessary,” insisted Élisabeth Borne.

This CIV, postponed several times, was designed to provide social and structural responses to the difficulties of working-class neighborhoods, four months after this summer’s riots and the day after a first round of rather security-related announcements.

The most precarious households affected

Households recognized as “Dalo”, for “enforceable right to housing”, will therefore no longer have to be allocated housing in the priority districts of the city policy (QPV), specified Matignon.

Dalo households have a right to housing recognized by a mediation commission or the courts, and must be given priority in the allocation of social housing.

Nearly 35,000 obtained recognition of this right in 2022 and more than 93,000 remain awaiting rehousing despite this recognition, the vast majority in the Paris region.

Not all Dalo households will be affected by the measure, only the most precarious, the Ministry of Housing was told. They will be granted social housing outside the QPV.

The prefects will also be instructed to stop the creation of new emergency accommodation places, intended for homeless people, in these same neighborhoods.
