Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): General Interest Programs (PIG) in Charente-Maritime.

Established in 1977, the programmed habitat improvement operations (OPAH) have been the main tool for the rehabilitation of urban centres and rural towns for the past 30 years. Other tools have been created to respond to territorial, technical and social specificities: declination of OPAH (rural, urban, degraded condominiums), General Interest Programmes (GIPs) and Thematic Social Programs (PST). Since the planned intervention in a given area, generally large — a large agglomeration, a large housing basin, or even a department — those areas which do not have significant urban and social dysfunctions, justifying an overall project, falls within a particular problem to be dealt with, of a social or technical nature, the OPAH is not an appropriate tool, and must be preferred to it the procedure of the Programme of General Interest (PIG), laid down in Article R 327-1 of the Code de la Construction et de l’habitation (CCH). The General Interest Programme (GIP) is an action programme initiated by local and regional authorities benefiting from an agreement for the delegation of stone aid. It aims to provide solutions to specific problems relating to the improvement of housing in housing units or buildings on different scales (agglomeration, housing basin, canton, country or even department). Thus, the scope of intervention can be the housing of students, young workers, the elderly or the disabled, the reduction of the number of vacant dwellings, the increase in the supply of social housing or the fight against diffuse unhealthiness. In addition, exceptional situations resulting from a disaster, whether natural or not, can be dealt with in the context of a GIP. The duration of the GIP is free, at the discretion of the local authorities, taking into account local context and issues: one year, 3 years or more if a contractual framework is defined in advance between the programme partners. The data does not contain the old IMPs that are otherwise archived.
