Planned Habitat Improvement Operations (OPAH) in the Gard

Created in 1977, the planned operations of ' improvement of housing (OPAH) have been the main tool for the rehabilitation of urban centres and rural villages for thirty years. D' other tools have been created to respond to territorial, technical and social specificities: declination of OPAHs (rural, urban, degraded condominiums), Programs d' General Interest (PIG) and Thematic Social Programmes (PST). An operation planned to improve housing; habitat aims to rehabilitate the built heritage and to improve the comfort of housing through subsidies, as well as to requalify as a whole a neighbourhood, a city, or a rural sector. They tend to improve housing supply, especially rental housing and thus maintain or develop neighbourhood services in compliance with the PLH. OPAH responds above all to a local project, led by the local authority concerned, that the State supports as part of the challenges of national solidarity and the fight against it; exclusion by housing, of which it carries. There are mainly four types of OPAH:- L'OPAH under common law whose purpose is to rehabilitate neighbourhoods and their habitat;- L'OPAH for urban renewal which aims to address the “most difficult urban and social areas by creating mechanisms using land or real estate interventions and coercive tools under public law (treatment of unhealthy health, demolitions.)”. It allows to coordinate different tools (PRI, RHI, PSMV, ZPPAUP); L'OPAH rural revitalisation which concerns rural areas in the process of “devitalisation”. These are rural areas characterised by demographic imbalances, income imbalances, and difficult living conditions.- L'OPAH of co-ownership which provides a framework for the prevention and treatment of fragile condominiums requiring #x27; support from the public authority for carrying out the works essential to the conservation of buildings.The OPAHs are designed and implemented jointly by the State (the prefect of Region sets priorities and distributes aid), the nanah and the communities that sign an agreement. This agreement specifies in particular the scopes of intervention: the community concerned delimits these boundaries and sets the objectives, in consultation with ANAH.The OPAHs can take place over 5 years (maximum time) with a minimum of 3 years. OPAHs are defined by law by Article L303-1 of the Construction and Housing Code (CCH).
