Lecornu Sets 2 Million-Home Target by 2030 in Housing Relaunch

The plan hinges on fresh public funding alongside a tax break to revive private rental investment.

Overview

  • Announced in Rosny-sous-Bois, the goal calls for 400,000 homes per year and frames housing as an urgent national priority.
  • Budget 2026 earmarks €500 million for 700 social landlords, with a target to deliver 125,000 social housing units starting in 2026.
  • The government is proposing a new rental investment scheme to replace Pinel, possibly named Vincent Jeanbrun, which the housing minister says could add about 50,000 homes annually and generate over €500 million in receipts.
  • Officials plan regulatory simplification and faster delivery using methods modeled on Notre-Dame restoration and the Olympic Games projects, with commitments to work closely with local authorities and industry.
  • The package includes measures to ease energy renovations, return formerly F and G rated homes to the market, bolster financing for upgrades in social housing, and provide safeguards for landlords against unpaid rent.
