In Corsica, finding affordable housing can be a significant challenge for many residents. According to Hyacinthe Choury, president of a local commission, the region's social housing stock accounts for only 10% of all main residences, compared to nearly 15% nationally. This issue will be a central topic at the conference Precarity, Solidarities, Health, Social Cohesion and Housing, organized by the CESECC. François Pernin, president of the Coordination inter-associative de lutte contre l'exclusion (CLE), emphasizes that housing is a fundamental factor in helping people move out of economic precarity. Without stable housing, individuals often struggle to access essential services like healthcare and nutrition, and may face social isolation. One local initiative being highlighted is the project from the village of Carbuccia. Mayor Pierre-François Bellini plans to present a proposal for an eco-quarter aimed at first-time homebuyers. The project includes communal land offered at controlled prices, allowing young households—particularly those with modest incomes—to build their main residence without facing the high land prices typical in the Ajaccio region. The mayor explains that this initiative addresses a pressing need, as many residents struggle to access affordable land. The commune has been working on the project since 2017 and recently submitted its development permit. The land will be available in smaller plots, with clauses ensuring it is used for primary residences and including provisions to prevent speculation. The conference will also feature discussions on other potential solutions. Alain Costes, an architect and urban planner, will speak about cooperative housing models, while Bernard Devert, president of Habitat et Humanisme, will focus on the role of the social and solidarity economy in addressing housing needs. François Pernin highlights that the CLE's goal is not just to find one solution to the housing shortage but to explore and multiply various forms of housing. In Corsica, the delay in developing social housing, combined with rising land costs and demand for affordable homes, has created a critical situation. Pernin notes that there is a significant lack of housing with very low rent, and individuals in long-term precarity often cannot access housing at all. While local initiatives like Carbuccia's project are promising, Pernin stresses that broader national policies are also needed. He argues that addressing poverty should not rely solely on social policies and benefits but should integrate housing, health, and transportation into a comprehensive approach. Although the project in Carbuccia cannot be easily replicated in all communes, it demonstrates the importance of using available communal land effectively. The conference, titled Social Housing in Corsica, a Vital Urgency in Failure: What Innovations?, will take place on Wednesday, October 14, at the Castelluccio Hospital in Ajaccio.
