Upheaval of struggle for student housing, a black point of the Ile-de-France. Friday, the Minister of advanced education and research Valérie Pécresse, signed an agreement with the city of Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis), the University of Paris XIII and the CROUS (Regional Centre of University and school works) of the Academy of Créteil, for the construction, by 2014, 1,000 student housing (which will be managed by the CROUS and other social landlords). The State is committed to contribute up to 40. "The city on its side has made available to the operation of the substantial lands", it says to the mairie de Bobigny.
In the right line of the Anciaux plan launched in 2004 which included the construction of 10,000 additional social housing in Ile-de-France offer is estimated today to 30,000 beds (excluding private sector) including 17,000 managed by the CROUS , the new policy of the Department tries to involve more communities. "The problem is not so much funding that land." "But the communities have land that we seek to mobilize", indicates the Minister's Office.

In the same spirit, the General Council of Yvelines and then that of the Hauts-de-Seine signed with the State, in April and early October, of memoranda of understanding for the construction of 3,000 housing students each, here in three years for the first and 2013 for the second. An agreement between the State and Paris who has funded 3,700 students housing from 2001 to 2008 and has set a goal of 4,000 rooms by 2014 is being negotiated.
Territorial implementation
Yvelines undertake to finance each height of 10,000 euros, "against 5,000" room earlier, said the cabinet of Valérie Pécresse. The Protocol Agreement of Hauts-de-Seine does not have a financial component (except for 288 units) but insists on the need to rethink the territorial implementation of student residences and undertakes to replace 1 housing destroyed by 1.2 nine housing. The precision is of size while uncertainties weighing on the future of the very old residence of Antony the largest of France with 2 beds whose management will be transferred from the CROUS de Versailles the agglomeration community of Hauts-de-Bièvre here at the end of the year. A folder on which the Unef (National Union of students of France) will be vigilant, whereas the residence as "strategic" for the Ile-de-France region and taking any destruction on the sector as "a provocation" given the shortage of student housing.
The Regional Council, first funder of student housing Council of Ile-de-France, began it tomorrow discussions to develop its plan for student housing, under the decentralization Act 2004. After having financed 5,000 housing since 2004 for 35 million, it will bring together around the plan which must be sealed off in 2009 the State, social landlords, universities, trade unions and student unions. "The idea is to develop a State of the premises and then determine territorial objectives and mobilize all the actors," explains Jean-Luc Laurent, Vice-President of the Regional Council for housing. And thus achieve the objective that had set the region of 15,000 additional student housing on the period 2004-2010.
