Eradicating homelessness: "Zero people on the streets"

Sleeping rough is not inevitable: it is a collective failure. Families, single women, young people, and sick individuals cycle through precarious solutions or remain on the streets.

Measures:

• Municipal Housing First strategy: rapid access to stable housing + support.
• Reinforced outreach teams (social + health + mediation), regular presence and coordination.
• Development of permanent solutions: rental mediation, boarding houses, social residences, secure leases.
• Prevention of breakdowns (rent arrears, evictions, leaving care, hospitalisations, domestic violence).

Guarantees: absolute priority for the most vulnerable; durable exits from the streets, not emergency rotations; dignity, safety, effectiveness.

Emergency plan: "Zero children on the streets"

When emergency accommodation overflows, families are the first to suffer: nights outdoors, instability, children out of school.

Measures:

• Municipal housing emergency unit (coordination between associations / CCAS / landlords).
• Immediate and dignified shelter when needed, with solutions adapted to families.
• Pathway "shelter → stabilisation → housing": no return to the streets.

Stop to unaffordable rents: rent controls + local observatory

Rents are skyrocketing, incomes are not keeping up: people give up, move away, go into debt.

Measures:

• Implement rent controls (where legally possible) and a local observatory of actual rents.
• Support for tenants: information, mediation, appeals.

Tourist rentals: protecting permanent housing

When housing shifts to tourist letting, the year-round rental supply shrinks and prices rise.

Measures:

• Strict rules, registration, inspections, and effective penalties for fraud.
• Limits on converting homes into tourist rentals where permanent housing is under pressure.

Energy renovation: priority for energy-inefficient homes and struggling co-ownerships

Energy-inefficient homes drain households financially and make housing unbearable in summer.

Measures:

• Creation of a "Thermal Renovation" unit within the public energy authority: diagnosis, grants, file management, end-to-end support.
• Priority for low-income households and struggling co-ownerships.
• Anti-overheating works: solar shading, ventilation, shade planting.
• Target: 10,000 files processed per year.

Rental licences + combating substandard housing

Unsanitary conditions, dangerous housing, excessive rents: a social and public-health scandal.

Measures:

• Rental licences in affected areas.
• Strengthened inspections, fast-track procedures, penalty charges, and sanctions.
• Support and rehousing for households when necessary.

Producing genuinely affordable housing: social, very social, social home ownership

We build, but too often not for those who actually live and work here.

Measures:

• Priority for social and very-social housing in planning programmes.
• Mobilising public land and anti-speculation tools for social home ownership (e.g. land-building dissociation).
• Conversion where relevant (offices → housing), rather than urban sprawl.
