More information
This public agency focuses strongly on meeting housing needs and improving neglected housing acquired from slum landlords. In infill areas, its preparatory work may involve demolition of existing buildings, asbestos removal, and decontamination of land. The costs of this work are recovered in the resale process and according to the regional and sectoral needs. EPF currently has 18,000 sites, of which 50 per cent have been dedicated to social housing. A detailed and up-to-date map of EPF’s activities is available on its website (http://www.epfif.fr/).
