The Banque des Territoires is the leading funder of social housing using our savings, in particular via the Livret A. Each year, it studies the accounts of social landlords (rental organizations or builders of social housing) to assess their economic health and make forecasts. longer term. According to the study published by the institution, out of the 250,000 social housing units planned, only 180,000 should ultimately come out of the ground.
These social landlords are also aware of the tense situation in real estate and energy. Does this influence their programs? In a longer-term survey of their ambitions and resources (projections up to 2060), the Banque des Territoires considers that the organizations concerned should be able to reconcile their objectives of energy renovation and the construction of new social housing, but at the cost of a sharp increase in their debt. The authors of the study believe, however, that the long time will gradually erase the financial consequences.
We should be able to reach a peak of 125,000 housing renovations per year in 2026 and 2027. The number of 100,000 new annual social housing units should hold from 2028, housing which will increasingly be confronted with the hunt for energy waste . Thermal sieves, the most energy-intensive housing, including HLM, will be gradually banned from renting from next January. The objective is to encourage their owners to renovate them. Some will find themselves faced with heavy investments, which makes the Banque des Territoires say that certain social landlords will have to arbitrate between renovating their existing properties and building new housing. A warning message on the future volumes of social housing… a call for new public policies to support this sector in tension.
