Île-de-France Prefects Sued Over Failure to Enforce Social-Housing Quota

Plaintiffs seek a court order forcing application of the 2017 rule reserving part of allocations outside priority neighborhoods for the poorest applicants.

La Fondation pour le logement des défavorisés, la Fédération des acteurs de solidarité d’Île-de-France et le Secours catholique, ont déposé plainte mercredi devant les tribunaux administratifs contre les préfets des huit départements franciliens pour leurs manquements en matière de logement sociaux.

Le Collectif des associations pour le logement accusait l’Etat de manquer à ses obligations concernant l’hébergement d’urgence. A Paris, le 21 avril 2025.

Overview

  • Three associations filed the complaint on September 24 targeting the eight préfets of Île-de-France in administrative court.
  • The filing asks the judge to enforce the 25% objective for allocations outside priority neighborhoods for the lowest-income quarter of applicants or households rehoused after urban renewal.
  • The groups cite official regional data showing 888,000 households on the waitlist in 2024, with only 7% receiving a home.
  • They argue social landlords and some local officials favor higher-income dossiers and say the law requires préfets to substitute when objectives are not met.
  • The préfets declined to comment, and the case begins at an early procedural stage against a backdrop of acute social-housing scarcity in the region.
