To respond to the difficulties encountered by students in finding accommodation, the Region, the State, Bordeaux Métropole, the CROUS de Bordeaux Aquitaine and the departmental conference of low-rental housing in Gironde have joined forces to achieve a goal: to achieve 12 housing units. social benefits for 100 students by 2030. Explanations.
The Bordeaux metropolis now has 102,000 students. They will be 122,000 in 2030. But the current social offer is only 8,600 housing units. This represents a ratio of 8.5 social housing units per 100 students. It is on the basis of this sad observation that the actors concerned decided to sign this contract of objectives and orientations concluded for 10 years (2020-2030). “It is a question of perpetuating and coordinating public interventions on the territory of the Bordeaux metropolitan area to allow a significant acceleration in the construction of student housing. »Explains the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region and Bordeaux Métropole in a press release signed jointly. “For social housing, the partners thus commit to massively increasing the supply, making it possible to go from 8.5 to 12 social housing units for 100 students, by building 6,000 housing units by 2030, building quality and adapted housing to the needs of the students, take into account the needs of the most precarious students. “
An action that continues in the private park
The partners have undertaken to identify existing housing in the private stock, in particular through the future metropolitan digital platform which will be linked to the Region’s “digital passport” platform, put online last January. Thus 1,000 alternative accommodation places will be created. They concern, for example, intergenerational cohabitation or part-time accommodation. We also learn in the press release cited above, that an “enlarged political body, called” COP “, for operational and partnership committee, is also planned to involve stakeholders in student housing, higher education and communities. »These are essential steps when we know that, among the obstacles to access to training desired by young people, housing is the most important.
