Description
Summary:In France, social housing sales to households aim to, among other objectives, increase social mix in existing multi-story buildings. Once social housing organisations start selling dwellings in such buildings, occupancy statuses diversify: while some households choose to stay social renters, others become property owners and either keep on living in their home or decide to put it on the private renting market. To better understand neighbourly relations in buildings currently being sold by social housing organisations, we conducted interviews with occupants of three buildings located in the greater Paris region. We establish a typology of residents, taking into account their residential trajectories and projects, before we focus on their relationships with neighbours and the collective life inside each building. We demonstrate that occupancy statuses seem to be less determinant in shaping the neighborhood relations of the surveyed residences compared to other buildings. The social housing sales program indeed limits the formation of social groups around these statuses, which only partially correspond to the households' social positions or length of residence. However, the increase over time in the proportion of homeowners and private tenants since the sales began contributes to making social diversity temporary and appears to marginalize households that remain social housing tenants.
