The year 2023 was marked by a record number of requests to declare their right to a house that can be enforced (DALO): 109,546 poor houses or those who are homeless ask the State to give them one, an increase of 4.2 % in a year, as figures published, Tuesday 2 Octoberby the High Commission for the Right to Housing. Among them, 36,532 families are recognized as important, which represents a rate of 33.8%, up 0.2 points compared to 2022.
However, only 21,665 families entered the house, whether they were identified as DALO in 2023 or before. “This is 9% less than in 2022. Above all, if we except the year of the health crisis, this is the first year of reduction recorded since the 2007 law that established DALO”noted the Secretary General of the High Commission, René Dutrey.
Indeed, for all residents combined, the number of HLM units falls in 2023, because there are fewer housing units and mainly because of the crisis, fewer social housing tenants are leaving. But DALO families are paying a heavy price: “While they deserve to benefit from 25% of shares and are the most important families among important families, they represent 4.8% of shares in 2023, down from 4.9% in 2022critic René Dutrey. However, more than half of these families have resources equal to or greater than the minimum wage. »
More than 100,000 special families are waiting
Due to the increase in requests and reduction in allocations, the list of families recognized as priority DALO over the years and still waiting for housing has increased in 2023: now has more than 100,000 And for 90% of them, the law The deadline for the allocation – set at three or six months, depending on the category – has passed. This is the case of Emilie (her first name has been changed), who is sixty years old: known as DALO in 2013, she renews her request for social housing every year, and she has not received a single proposal.
“I have been contacted twice. But I was placed second for these accommodations, and I did not accept them.”regrets this woman in her sixties on the phone. During the eleven years of waiting, the Parisian studio where she lived with her son was destroyed. “The cracks widened and widened, and the rats were attacking me. The heater burns when I turn it on, so I don’t have the courage to use it anymore.”describes Emilie who is known as having a long illness due to Covid.
