Government unveils measures against the “apartheid … – The Obs

Paris (AFP) – Two months after the attacks in January, the government announced Friday its tracks to revive the link to the Republic in sensitive areas, relying mainly on education and housing to break the ‘ghetto effect.

After the Justice shutter / security and citizenship in schools and before an interdepartmental committee on March 13 focused on rural areas, the government continues its campaign for equality and citizenship theme of inter-ministerial committee on Friday.

“France faces a profound social and democratic malaise,” said Prime Minister Manuel Valls, by reusing the term “apartheid” that had used to describe the situation in sensitive areas.

On housing, the idea is to break the ghettos by forcing one hand recalcitrant cities to meet their obligations of social housing, and the other not to concentrate the poor in neighborhoods.

The prefects will step into the breach and to enforce the SRU (Solidarity and Urban Renewal), which requires the construction of housing 25% Social municipalities with over 3,500 inhabitants. Out nearly 220 do not respect it.

Beyond the sanctions already provided for by law, they will be encouraged to replace the town for the issuance of a building permit or refusal of buildings or existing homes in order to make social housing.

“We have to stop adding poverty to poverty,” argued the Prime Minister.

For all that reinforces the ghetto effect must be avoided: in this field, the key measure for beneficiaries Law to housing (DALO), since the smallest of them will no longer be relocated in 1500 districts . not affected the urban policy

By the same logic, the housing destroyed as part of urban renewal will have to be rebuilt in priority to other areas

-. No yet another ‘Marshall Plan’ –

Other tracks are launched: allow social landlords to adjust rents to house low-income households in wealthy areas, or to trace the steering of social housing at the grouping of municipalities.

“Everything is,” it is argued Matignon, stressing the need for all social housing actors play the game.

Manuel Valls encrypted “around a billion” for the next three years the cost of measures announced Friday, but outside employment and education.

But it is not just another “new Plan “or” Marshall Plan “for the suburbs, he insisted. “Social development of neighborhoods” in 1982 the plan “Hope suburbs” in 2008, the programs have indeed succeeded without managing to absorb the “ghettos” urban.

“Everything will not be resolved at once additional millions, “argued Manuel Valls, saying it was unwise” of the will, the determination, stubbornness. “

In detail, € 100 million will be released for associations working in sensitive areas. The urban renewal agency will see some of its funding (1 billion over 5) released more quickly.

On the educational component, the committee has unveiled a series of measures, many of which are part of a dynamic already known: modification of the catchment map for colleges, increased enrollment of less than three years in high priority areas (50% by 2017, with the mobilization of 800 teachers) incentive to the advancement of teachers after difficult institutional path …

In each REP + college, a nursing station and a social worker position will be provided and the learning of French will be strengthened in kindergarten.

A digital panel is also provided with a short training offer in sensitive areas and certification “great school of digital”.
