“The question today is not that of APL (Personalized Housing Assistance)”, assured the Minister Delegate in charge of Housing Patrice Vergriete, Tuesday September 12 on franceinfo, while the Abbé Pierre Foundation proposes to increase them by 10% to deal with the precariousness of low-income households due to inflation. Such an increase in APL is not “not on the table”evacuated the minister, preferring “enhancing the housing supply”.

“First restart construction”he added. “If we want to control rental prices, we need to have more offers” housing, he explained. “If you build more housing, it will put downward pressure on prices”according to him.
