Housing, Marine Le Pen

Social housing: Priority for French nationals in social housing, repeal of the SRU law

Direction of change: decrease, compared with current law.

The lever. Construction of social housing: annual target, or obligations imposed on municipalities (loi SRU). Direction rule: ↑ more social housing, tougher obligations.

« Nous devons donner la priorité d'accès au logement social aux Français. […] La loi SRU sera purement et simplement abrogée. […] La vente d'un certain nombre de HLM aux Français permettra ainsi de dégager […] des moyens pour financer de nouvelles constructions. […] Nous organiserons donc l'expulsion des familles délinquantes des HLM. »1

Translation by the editorsWe must give French people priority access to social housing. […] The SRU law will be purely and simply repealed. […] Selling a certain number of HLM to French people will thus free up […] resources to finance new construction. […] We will therefore organise the eviction of delinquent families from HLM.

not costed

Priority access, repeal of the SRU law, sale of social housing (HLM): rule-based measures with no amount, no costing found in the sources read.

Current law, sources and limits of the cost schedule

Current law. SRU act: 20 to 25% social housing. Solidarity rent reduction (RLS) levied on social landlords since 2018: €1.1bn in 2025, €1.3bn in the PLF 2026, with a compromise target in the Senate of €0.9bn. 99,000 social housing units approved in 2024, about 33,000 of them PLAI (very-low-income housing).

Horizon. full year 2032, €bn/year

Limits. Coefficient: the Institut Montaigne costs 135,000 additional social housing units per year at €1.9bn to €2.3bn (2.1 central) for general government, i.e. €0.14bn to €0.17bn per 10,000 dwellings (public subsidies of 8 to 9% of a construction cost of €156,000 to €172,000, increased for the RE2020 standard; editors' calculation). “Net” convention: these subsidies include those of Action logement, which is not a public administration; the source does not give its share and the page could not be re-checked in October 2026 (access refused): the coefficient is not net of it and therefore overstates the cost for general government. The reference pace is that of 2024 approvals (99,000); Montaigne started from 65,000 dwellings built. Not counted: the property tax exemption for 25 to 30 years, VAT at 5.5%, the interest rate advantage of loans from the fonds d'épargne (savings fund), land, the equity the State might have to provide (of the order of €2bn according to Montaigne) and the effect on VAT (from −€350m to +€350m depending on whether the dwellings replace or add to other construction). The 5 to 10% increase for the RE2020 standard, specific to the text costed in 2022 (Mélenchon), is applied as is to the other positions. FNAP bricks-and-mortar aid alone (about €5.5k per dwelling) would greatly underestimate the public cost. The RLS (rent reduction scheme) amounts differ according to the stage of the 2026 budget procedure (€1.3bn / €1.1bn / €0.9bn).

How to read these amounts. These are static costs and revenues, with no feedback effect, over a full year: nothing on growth, employment or the revenue that economic activity would gain or lose. A higher net cost does not on its own make a worse policy, nor net savings a better one: each programme rests on an economic model (demand-led stimulus, lower compulsory levies, consolidation of the public accounts…) that the cost schedule does not settle. GDP itself measures a volume of activity, not well-being or the usefulness of what is produced. Economic models and feedback effects.
