Overview
- The Conseil de Paris voted on 18 November to convert the city‑owned Hôtel de Fourcy into housing under a long lease with CDC Habitat social.
- The rehabilitation is budgeted at €7.6 million, including €2.3 million in municipal subsidies, with façade restoration, insulation, compliance upgrades and district‑heating connection planned.
- Officials say allocations will prioritize childcare assistants, waste collectors, nurses or auxiliaries, and women who have experienced violence.
- Expected rents are projected between roughly €6.93 and €15.16 per square meter, well below local market levels reported around €31.
- Right‑leaning councillors criticized the plan as costly or symbolic, while the municipal majority defended it as a deliberate step to rebalance where affordable homes exist in central Paris.
