CONTEXT :
Vous avez besoin d’un hébergement d’urgence, vous vous retrouvez dans une situation d’incapacité : La Loi DAHO peut répondre à votre besoin. Qu’est ce que le DAHO et comment l’exercer ?
L’article ci après vous répond.
TIPS:
QU’EST CE QUE LE DROIT A L’HEBERGEMENT OPPOSABLE (DAHO) ?
If you have requested accommodation but have not received an answer adapted to your needs, you can lodge an appeal with the DAHO mediation commission present in each department, or failing that, with the prefect.
WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS TO BENEFIT FROM DAHO?
You have previously requested accommodation in transitional housing, hostel housing or a social hotel residence without having received an appropriate response: then you can have recourse to this procedure.
The conditions to be fulfilled to enter the commission are as follows:
- be of French nationality or hold a valid residence permit,
- have previously made a request for accommodation and have not obtained an appropriate response,
- respect the deadlines to enter the commission or to have priority.
Priority people are:
– une personne en situation irrégulière peut être reconnue prioritaire par la commission de médiation, depuis la Alur Law ,
– les personnes logées dans des locaux impropres à l’habitation ou présentant un caractère insalubre ou dangereux,
– les personnes qui ont reçu une décision judiciaire d’expulsion,
– les logements sur-occupés ou ne présentant pas le caractère d’un logement décent et dans lesquels est présent au moins un enfant mineur ou une personne handicapée.
HOW DOES THE AMIABLE APPEAL BE HELD WITH THE MEDIATION COMMISSION?
Referral to the mediation commission is made by sending a Cerfa form n ° 15037 * 01 by registered letter. The secretariat of the commission will send an acknowledgment of receipt of your appeal.
Do not hesitate to complete your form with all documents that can prove your situation.
The committee will then deliberate in order to determine whether you actually have priority to obtain emergency accommodation.
HOW DOES THE APPEAL BEFORE THE ADMINISTRATIVE COURT WORK?
SI VOUS AVEZ ETE RECONNU PRIORITAIRE MAIS N’AVEZ PAS RECU DE PROPOSITION ADAPTEE A VOS BESOINS ?
In the event that within 6 weeks after the committee's response:
- despite a positive response from the mediation committee, the prefect could not find you accommodation,
- the proposed solution is not suited to your situation even though the mediation commission has noted the particularity of your situation and the resulting needs,
- the mediation committee did not respond to you within 6 weeks
You have an appeal before the administrative court.
You have four months to make this appeal under the same conditions as the appeal open to housing applicants. It is important to attach the decision of the commission.
The administrative court will rule urgently, within 2 months from the date on which you have referred it. He may order your admission to an accommodation structure, transitional accommodation, hostel accommodation, a hotel residence with a social vocation or a relay house, once he finds that your request has been recognized as a priority by the commission and that such a reception was not offered, under a new deadline and with a financial penalty.
If, at the end of this period, you are still not relocated, you can seek compensation before the administrative court to obtain the conviction of the State and compensation.
When your situation is urgent, you can also file a request with the judge, so that he urgently orders the prefect to assign you accommodation. It will then have to rule within 48 hours.
Warning :
Ces fiches vous informent de vos droits mais il ne vous suffit pas d’avoir raison : encore vous faut-il le prouver.
C’est pourquoi il faut garder des traces écrites de vos demandes et des réponses importantes qui vous sont données oralement par l’administration car des justificatifs vous seront peut-être demandés un jour. Par exemple, en faisant/refaisant votre demande par lettre avec accusé de réception, dont vous gardez une copie, ou en demandant de justifier un refus.
