Routledge - Housing Disadvantaged People? French Social Housing

Explore the complexities of the French social housing system with this academic study from the Housing and Society Series. While the French "right to housing" provides priority access and legal pathways for disadvantaged citizens to obtain a social home, a persistent housing crisis remains. This book examines why people continue to face difficulties accessing housing despite local efforts and legal protections. Readers will understand the tension between national housing policies and the influence of the European Court of Human Rights and EU decisions. By looking at the roles of insiders and outsiders within the system, this work provides a clear view of the challenges faced by poor and disadvantaged populations in France. It is an essential resource for those studying urban planning, social sciences, and the practical realities of housing allocation in a modern European context.
