The Brussels regional government arrangements for summer 2009 are ambitious. They provide, by 2019, a dramatic increase in the number of public housing by a standard to achieve in the next 10 years 15% of quality housing management service and social purposes .
It seems that the current percentage of public housing is 10% but the exact numbers are unknown. Specifically, that standard is reached, about 25,000 public housing should be created Legislatures in two or more than 200 units per month.
This is an extremely proactive as tens of thousands of people waiting impatiently in a city where he can live where housing is not a problem, but where the housing gobbles up the majority of the budget the poorest.
Seven months after the regional elections and five months after creating the new government, the first signs incite pessimism regardless of the willingness of each other. The objective
new concerns not only the construction of dwellings ab nihilo, but also processing and office goods abandoned housing and the continued construction has already begun. And agreements concerning constructions and transformations the short, medium and long term , that is, logically, long term of 10 years, with a few short years and a few months.
But so far nothing concrete has been announced in these areas. By cons, a project of the previous legislature was abandoned and other projects appear scaled down.
It should be noted that the misfortune of some decreases the misfortune of others. If the government's objective was met, he would build, renovate and remodel. Manufactured housing costs on average at least 300,000 € all inclusive (land, construction, ...). Renovation or conversion, perfectly efficient and effective, could cost around € 50,000 per house included. The minimum conceivable average per home produced can be estimated at 100,000 € per unit concerned. In this sense, as virtually no accommodation is still created, regional and local authorities currently save at least 20 million € per month. This letter
bimonthly aims to be a modest boost to a party even minimal objectives is achieved.
State of the realization of the 25,000 homes in 3600 days (known to January 25, 2010):
- number of public housing new built : 58

- In the electronic journal Science "Brussels Studies. http://www.brusselsstudies.be/PDF/FR_121_BruS34FR.pdf , author Alice Romainville says The objectives of housing policy and priority given at the political level, these objectives, raise questions , particularly the allocation of a significant part of the narrow regional budget to housing policy means, based on a hypothetical "back in town" for middle and upper classes - while in the social housing sector which is facing a huge demand urgent and otherwise, are produced laboriously thirty homes per year.
