“Housing is something essential, and I think that the allocation of social housing must be entrusted to the municipalities, and no longer shared between the State, the lessor, and the town hall for what remains, because the elected officials know the terrain, the families in difficulty“, affirmed – once again – Gérard Gazay, president of Immobilier Développement AMP, ex-Façonéo, and mayor of Aubagne (LR) this Wednesday, October 2 during the laying of the first stone of the future Le 36 residence, in La Penne-sur-Huvaune.
Well Nicolas Bazzucchi, first magistrate of Penne, succeeded in this sleight of hand: within the commission for the allocation of the 45 housing units which will be built at the end of 2025 on this 4,000 m² plot of land which welcomed by the past the Fassetta ironworks, we find the town hall, but no prefecture or landlord.
“30% lower than the private market”
But be careful: here, no social housing, but apartments put up for sale via a real solidarity lease, a social system for home ownership (see box) offering a price “30% lower than the private market“, underlines the mayor.
