Marine Le Pen, the candidate for the National Rally (RN) in the 2027 presidential election, has outlined a major housing reform as one of the central pillars of her five-year presidential program if she is elected. The proposals, presented during a campaign event in her stronghold of Hénin-Beaumont in northern France, focus on promoting home ownership and addressing the current housing crisis in the country. Le Pen emphasized that housing is a key concern for the French public and therefore a priority for her administration. In her speech, she announced that housing will be "at the heart" of her presidential project, with the goal of normalizing the current "tense" housing situation in France within five years. Her plan is based on three main principles: freeing up construction, valuing existing housing stock, and encouraging and protecting property ownership. To achieve this, she proposed transforming office spaces into residential housing and streamlining construction processes by reducing bureaucratic delays and eliminating certain regulations, such as the "zero net artificialization" (ZAN) device, which limits new housing construction in certain areas. Le Pen also plans to abolish certain restrictions tied to the Energy Performance Diagnostic (DPE), which evaluates a building's energy efficiency. Instead, she wants to replace it with a new initiative called "100% Renov," a zero-interest loan program to help households renovate their homes, including upgrading heating systems and, controversially, installing air conditioning. She also emphasized a "national priority" in housing, stating that access to social housing should be reserved for French citizens and that benefits like the APL (personal housing allowances) should not be available to non-citizens. She also proposed changes to the SRU law, which mandates a minimum number of social housing units in certain cities, and suggested selling some social housing units to generate funds for new construction. Le Pen’s vision includes moving toward a "society of homeowners" and increasing the availability of affordable housing for French citizens. She also pledged to improve purchasing power, simplify mortgage loan processes, and make it mandatory to transfer existing mortgage loans with more favorable rates. Additionally, she promised to introduce legislation against squatting as soon as she takes office. Her campaign continues with a planned event on October 25 in Orléans, where she will address the RN Congress.
