Sustainable housing, revival of construction, the homeless, social housing, students... Housing is one of the priorities of the candidates' programs.
Overview of the different proposals of the main candidates for the presidential election.
Housing is one of the priorities of the programs of presidential candidates.
How to better house the French, how to build in a sustainable way... so many questions to which they bring their share of proposals.
On the occasion of the release of our presidential Playlists (the one on education can be found by clicking here or at the bottom of this article), Europe 1 returns to the proposals of certain candidates.
Anne Hidalgo
The Socialist Party candidate and Mayor of Paris is betting on low-carbon housing, "the reconstruction of our century" according to her.
Anne Hidalgo proposes a major multi-year plan for the energy renovation of buildings which would allow the complete and efficient renovation of 760,000 private homes per year, i.e. 22 million homes by 2050. She is also committed to housing the French at an affordable price, with a "relaunch of the construction of social housing, which will be increased to 150,000 housing units per year, including a third of very social housing" and a "generalization of the supervision of rents in all tense areas".
Yannick Jadot
The Europe Ecologie Les Verts candidate is focusing on three areas: halving the energy bill for housing by aiming for a 50% reduction in energy consumption, putting an end to thermal sieves, and the payment of an energy check of 400 euros to give a boost to the French.
Yannick Jadot is aiming for the complete renovation of 5 million thermal sieves in 10 years.
It also alerts on the ecological emergency.
In his program, he proposes to "reduce France's carbon footprint by 55% by 2030 by living better and will achieve carbon neutrality by 2050".
John Lassalle
The candidate and deputy for Pyrénées-Atlantiques wants to open "states general for the suburbs", develop a plan for the co-construction of city policy with citizens, elected officials, institutional and associative actors.
Jean Lassalle undertakes to ensure a roof for each homeless person.
Its proposals consist of increasing the amount of APL, especially for young people and better regulating rental prices.
Finally, Jean Lassalle proposes that the tenant automatically becomes the owner as soon as the amount of the monthly payments corresponds to the value of the property.
Marine Le Pen
The leader of the National Rally has one thing in mind: to ensure the national priority of access to social housing and employment.
Marine Le Pen wants a referendum to adopt measures and determine the question of priority access to social housing.
She wishes to improve the housing conditions of the military forces and that "our overseas compatriots will benefit in mainland France from priority access to studies and social housing".
Finally, it is committed to building 100,000 new student accommodations during its five-year term.

Emmanuel Macron
The outgoing President wants to create an affordable housing supply, where the needs are, particularly in terms of employment.
It wants to facilitate access to housing for young people and active people on the move, through the construction of 80,000 housing units and to accelerate the renovation of housing, including "half of the strainer housing from 2022, in order to reduce emissions and make lower costs".
The leader LaREM proposes to "lower prices is the massive construction of new housing".
Regarding the homeless, Emmanuel Macron wants to establish a right to domiciliation.
Jean-Luc Melenchon
The leader of La France Insoumise wants to "guarantee the right to housing" by enshrining it in the Constitution.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon wishes to "develop a massive supply of quality, sustainable and energy-efficient housing".
He wants to "lead an active policy to fight against vacant housing that can go as far as requisitioning" and produce "one million truly social housing units (PLAI and PLUS) at the rate of 200,000 public housing units per year that meet ecological criteria".
Valerie Pécresse
Development of suitable housing for the elderly.
Valérie Pécresse wants "A France of owners": 500,000 new or renovated homes each year, the generalization of the zero-rate loan (PTZ) throughout the territory to help the French to buy their first home, solidarity guarantee for workers excluded from the loan bank (fixed-term contract, temporary work, etc.).
Valérie Pécresse wants more justice in the allocation of social housing.
Finally, it pleads for the establishment of green and sustainable growth to put an end to energy sieves by doubling the number of renovated housing units.
Fabien Roussel
The Communist Party candidate wants a right to housing and the construction of Crous housing for students.
"In five years, the current stock of these dwellings will be increased from the current 175,000 to 525,000," he announced.
Fabien Roussel wants to act for more ecological housing.
Finally, he wants to "establish an obligation for efficient, social and progressive energy renovation of housing by 2040 and for the overall renovation of thermal sieves by 2030, with no remaining charges for the most modest, by devoting 10 billion per year to the energy renovation of housing and public buildings to insulate and renovate 700,000 housing units per year".
Eric Zemmour
Eric Zemmour wants to abolish non-contributory social aid (family allowances, housing aid, RSA, minimum old age, etc.) for non-European foreigners and automatically expel drug traffickers and their families from social housing.
He wants to repeal the Solidarity and Urban Renewal (SRU) law which imposes a quarter of social housing on cities.
His lines of work?
Promote the construction of new housing, "hand over" social housing to "the most modest French people" and promote a balance between professional and family life, by reserving places for single French mothers in social housing and in crèches.
