Before becoming minister, he headed the National Agency for Urban Renewal (ANRU), a powerful instrument of urban policy, and was mayor of one of the poorest municipalities in France, Clichy-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis), which he helped to open up. Since his arrival at the Hôtel de Roquelaure, the seat of the ministry, he has been repeating his formula over and over again: "that housing is not the social bomb of tomorrow".

"For us, the Minister of Housing, and even more Olivier Klein because of his career, is an ally," said Pascal Brice, president of the Federation of Solidarity Actors, which brings together associations to help homeless people. As part of the CNR Logement, he himself had to announce at the beginning of May the measures he retained... but the meeting was postponed for a month at the request of Matignon who then took control of the announcements. Meanwhile, the executive has prepared the ground for further budget cuts, while developers and builders warn of an unprecedented crisis.
