The Council of Paris adopted a view on Friday calling for additional aid to enable social housing tenants to cope with the increase in their energy costs, judging the current tariff shield “largely insufficient”.
In this view, the Parisian executive is asking the government for a significant increase in the part charged for personalized housing assistance (APL), to compensate for the increase in tenants’ receipts, considering in particular that the explosion in energy prices is the consequence of movements of speculation linked to the risk of shortage and the deregulation of energy prices.
The Paris en commun group also wants the regulatory provisions to be published quickly allowing the tariff shield to be extended to energy expenditure related to common areas.
Finally, he wants the exceptional energy check of 100,200 euros, automatically sent to the most modest households for 2022, to be paid directly to HLM organizations, with a deduction from the bills of tenants benefiting from collective heating.
The tariff shield implemented by the government will not avoid large increases in receipts in 2023 for tenants of social housing, estimated Eric Pliez, DVG mayor of the 20th arrondissement, recalling that the energy check cannot be touched by households. of social housing which benefit from collective heating.
