The tidal wave has not been to the appointment

The tidal wave has not been to the appointment. While a just year eligible individuals the right to housing (Dalo) can enter their own tribunals to obtain satisfaction, only 2,400 special were launched in the approach the end of September. In addition to the clumsiness of the process - which requires the support of an association, or even for a lawyer-, number of individuals could be cooled by the lack of effectiveness of the approach. "Win a remedy does even not that will be granted housing", said Frédérique Rastall, responsible for mission housing in Emmaus. In a year, the association filed une quarantine of appeal before the administrative courts. Balance: while all have won none of the plaintiffs has currently received housing.

All of the shortcomings of the Dalo are concentrated in this example. "Can invent all the remedies that you wish to to il there not enough housing, cannot enforce the law", said Bernard Lacharme, Dalo Committee rapporteur.

Program of requisition

Between January 2008 and last September, the departmental mediation committees, first level of appeal, received some 114.480 applications. A number of relatively small since it is estimated that 600,000 the number of potential beneficiaries of the Dalo. Also the lack of information on the device, it is its effectiveness which is pointing the finger. If 16.200 people were actually relocated via the Dalo, nearly 10,000 received no proposal within the legal time - three to six months by agglomerations - even though the Board found their favourable opinion. "The State is outside the law: it does not respect an act that he was even voted", denounced Jean-Baptiste Eyraud, President of the association right to housing.

Yet, in the event of failure to comply with its obligations, the State must pay a penalty ranging from 10 to 20 euros per day of delay. More than 10 million euros have already paid as such. "This is clearly not incentive to require the State to act, as the amount of the penalty was reduced from its initial level was 100-200 euros, via a parliamentary amendment", notes Jean-Baptiste Eyraud. To cope, the Monitoring Committee of the Dalo advance several tracks: launch a "program of requisitions using the ... provisions." "of the Code of construction and housing." mobilize private dwellings or even "programming throughout the Ile-de-France, and any Department in difficulty, the construction of housing and places of accommodation with targets territorialisés and enforceable to the House of Commons". Whereas the Ile-de-France concentrated the majority of the appeal, the Committee considers that 70,000 additional units a year "with an average of 50 of social rental housing" are necessary in this area.

Another lever, presented on 11 November last by the Secretary of State for housing Benoist Apparu, the redesign of the prefectoral quota, which allows prefects have 25 of new social housing implemented each year. The contingent will take 25 of the total annual flow of free housing (new but also released in the year), which would, in the Ile-de-France, provide 10,000 housing more each year for the Dalo.
