More than 17000 communities have signed since

A thousand sites to support the building and public works, EUR 200 million paid to the national agency of l'habitat (Anah), 350 to bail out the National Agency for urban renewal (Anru), 120 to finance 30,000 additional housing... As the measures announced in the fall of 2008, recovery plan established on February 2, 2009 by the Prime Minister François Fillon was all-out fundable actions quickly. The State also undertook a year ahead, to refund the VAT to the House ready to increase their investment spending. More than 17,000 communities have signed since. Two months ago, as early as December 5, 2008, the President of the Republic Nicolas Sarkozy initiated the pump with a package of measures more directly oriented housing doubling, for purchases of new homes, the zero rate loan - resources - of the homebuyers property to conditional. A few weeks earlier, the announcement of the buyback, by social landlords and the Société Nationale Immobilière, a subsidiary of the Caisse des Dépôts of 30,000 unsaleables housing in a lacklustre market had revived the proponents on syncope. Finally to January 1, 2009, the implementation of the device tax exemption to private investors Scellier them had almost from one day to the next, does recover health.

The crisis is not over

A year later, the results of these measures welcomed by all, seem already more at difficulties. The activity of the promoters resumed, is the doping of the tax exemption: some 85,000 collective housing produced in 2009, more than 50 have been sold under the Scellier scheme and the same device was offered to purchasers of residences of tourism from April. The 120 million granted to the HLM to produce two years 30,000 additional homes were consumed and "do that offset the reduction of the budget" says Thierry Repenti, the President of the social Union for habitat. It closed but a good exercise, with Derksen funded social housing which 14.500 apartments provided plus to replace the demolition of the national programme of urban renewal. This "best year since two decades" is paradoxically not unrelated to the crisis: the HLM have bought sponsors projects and benefited a few months of slump recovering lands deserted by the private. "Companies are also less busy, they respond faster and less expensive to our tender," continues Thierry Repentin. Kept afloat, the building sector has accused in 2009 decreased activity of 7, "without recovery plan, we have approached the 10 ", says Didier Ridoret the President of the French Federation of the building. It provides for 2010 new decreased by 3 due particularly to the fall of the tertiary construction market.

Supported employment, not housing

Issued to the Anru EUR 350 million were used to unlock operations out of funding, but are not enough to bail out the future: "it lack EUR 1.5 billion to complete projects already signed between the communities and the Anru," says Thierry Repenti. Yves Lafoucrière, the Director General of the building 3F, one of the major social landlords is also worried "until in 2011, may perhaps be, from 2012, without even counting the probable skidded cost GHG, we will have a real problem, but should not abandon these projects while some quarters are beginning to turn.

Builders and developers look at the future with anxiety: credits for one year have been spent and the production of 333.250 housing is 16.7 decrease over 2008. Extended aid are only a few months: "end of June, it is much too early to stop the doubling of the zero rate loan, this will create an effect of boon in the first quarter and it will happen more nothing then", provides Christian - Louis Victor, the President of the Union of French houses. As others, he regretted the complexity of Pass-land also planned to shut end of 2010. This system which allows to defer the payment of the land at the end of the repayment of loans to acquire the walls of a House had been broadened to apartments by the recovery plan. The complexity of the device funded in part by reluctant local communities to pay 2,000 euros by housing did not succeed fully.

Within six months, twelve or less, the exceptional measures will have lived. "They will be used to support the employment which is essential, but not to re solve the housing crisis", criticizes a proponent. Will remain défisca capital devices which since 20 years boost housing in France industry and cost the State 605 million euros in 2009, according to the Secretariat of State for housing. Unsurprisingly, the last, introduced to alleviate the crisis will cause the same Perissol, Robien and other abuse that preceded it: poorly identified needs, a bid on the price of the land, reflected on housing, markets, not being purchased to alleviate tax leaves. The Scellier is the most expensive of all, according to the report of the MPP Gilles Carrez on public finances in the National Assembly: 50,000 units sold under this scheme in 2009 should cost the State 2.8 billion euros of tax revenue over the period 2010-2025, or 60,000 euros by housing granted to private park. Assistance to the social sector, even in times of stimulus, does not reach this amount.
