Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Operations Programmed for the Improvement of Habitat (OPAH) completed in Paris

The data N_OPAH_ZSUP_ACHEVEES_075 identifies and delimits Paris’ Programmed Operations for the Improvement of Habitat (OPAH), whose agreement has expired on the current date of the data. A planned housing improvement operation aims to rehabilitate built heritage and improve housing comfort through subsidies, as well as to reclassify a neighbourhood, a city, or a rural area as a whole. They tend to improve the supply of housing, in particular rental accommodation and thus maintain or develop neighbourhood services in line with the PLH. The OPAH responds above all to a local project, carried out by the local authority concerned, which the State supports as part of the challenges of national solidarity and the fight against exclusion through housing, which it promotes. There are mainly four types of OPAH: — The ordinary OPAH whose purpose is to upgrade neighbourhoods and their habitat; — The OPAH of urban renewal, which aims to deal with “the most difficult urban and social areas by creating schemes involving land or real estate interventions and coercive tools under public law (treatment of unsanitary, demolitions.)”. It coordinates different tools (PRI, RHI, PSMV, ZPPAUP); — The rural revitalisation OPAH, which concerns rural areas in the process of ‘devitalisation’. These are rural areas characterised by demographic imbalances, income imbalances and difficult living conditions; — The co-ownership OPAH which offers a framework for the prevention and treatment of fragile condominiums requiring the support of the public authorities in carrying out the works essential for the conservation of buildings. The OPAHs are designed and implemented jointly by the State (the Prefect of the Region sets priorities and allocates aid), the ANAH (National Housing Agency) and the authorities which sign an agreement. The agreement shall specify, in particular, the scope of intervention: the community concerned shall define these areas and set the objectives therein, in consultation with the ANAH. OPAHs can take place over 5 years (maximum time limit) with a minimum of 3 years. They are defined by law by Article L303-1 of the Construction and Housing Code. See also: http://www.lesopah.fr/
