The housing stock had only belatedly benefited from the freezing of regulated electricity and gas prices decided last fall.


They had been forgotten in the first version of the tariff shield, last fall, before the government ended up integrating them several months later.

The tenants of the HLM park will benefit from the new version of the tariff shield, wanted to reassure Gabriel Attal, Minister of the Budget, this morning, on France Info.

“We are working to ensure that the tariff shield applies to co-ownership trustees and HLM offices

,” he said, adding that this application concerns both gas and electricity.

Low-rent housing (HLM) is in most cases heated by means of collective rather than individual heating, just like certain condominium buildings in the private sector.

The suppliers thus invoice directly to the HLM office or to the syndic of co-ownership, which pass on the cost to the inhabitants, in particular by provisioning charges.

This indirect invoicing system explained the omission in the first version of the tariff shield.

The government ended up correcting the situation by publishing a decree in April, allowing the reduction of charging provisions paid by households.

Despite everything, in the wake of the Prime Minister's intervention yesterday, which specified the contours of the new tariff shield, the housing sector stepped up to the plate.

“Suppliers do not deduct the price shield.

They charge landlords 100% of the price, which themselves pass on the amount to the tenants' charges

, ”said Eddie Jacquemart, president of the National Housing Confederation, on the Ile-de-France branch of France 3 last night.

In this regard, Gabriel Attal recalled that

"the suppliers sent estimates or provisional invoices before the announcement of the price shield with price forecasts for next year without the shield"

.

And to repeat that he

“there is no doubt” about the fact that “people who live in public housing will benefit from the tariff shield”

.

Shortly before Gabriel Attal's intervention, Emmanuelle Cosse, who chairs the Social Union for Housing, representative of the sector, called in the morning to

"calm the anxiety"

which arises among the tenants of the HLM park.

“We house the poorest households in France and we are not at the heart of the aid

,” regretted the former minister.
