Overview
- The chamber adopted a change allowing intermediate, higher‑rent units to count toward SRU social‑housing quotas for towns behind on obligations.
- Senators approved a “motivated veto” for mayors in social‑housing allocations, a power denounced by critics as opening the door to clientelism.
- Article 8 passed to penalize staying in another’s home after lawful entry, such as via short‑term rentals, and to extend eviction procedures to offices, shops and other premises.
- Roughly 50 protesters from Droit au logement, CGT and Solidaires rallied outside the Senate, joined by left‑wing senators including Yannick Jadot, Ian Brossat and Marianne Margaté.
- The text sets a programmatic goal of 400,000 new homes a year by 2030; the housing minister supports the overall push but opposes fixing numerical targets in law and signals a separate government plan.
