Commissioned by the government, two parliamentarians proposed on Tuesday in a report to expand the offer and increase the subsidies allocated to Maisons France Services, support structures for carrying out administrative procedures. Received on Tuesday by the Minister of Public Service Stanislas Guerini, the deputy Horizons Marie-Agnès Poussier-Winsback and the senator of the centrist Union Bernard Delcros call on the executive to “integrate new national operators from 2024” into the offer of more than 2,000 France Services Houses. At present, the France Services program has nine partners including La Poste, the General Directorate of Public Finances, Health Insurance, Pôle Emploi and Pension Insurance.
In their recommendations, the parliamentarians suggest establishing a new partnership with the Ministry of Ecological Transition to be able to support the French from 2024 in their “dematerialized requests for aid linked to the ecological transition and housing”, such as MaPrimeRénov’, for example . From next year, they are also proposing to include in the offer of Maisons France Services the procedures related to Agirc-Arrco (supplementary pensions), the Federation of Individual Employers of France (help and advice on employment at home), at the Cnous (requests for student accommodation) and at the Banque de France.
Invested in February by Stanislas Guerini with a mission to strengthen the France Services system, Marie-Agnès Poussier-Winsback and Bernard Delcros plan in the longer term (2025) to integrate Urssaf, the Ministry of National Education or social housing actors to the service offer. While each Maison France Services is subsidized to the tune of 35,000 euros, the parliamentarians propose “from 2024 a base contribution of 40,000 euros, increased by 10,000 euros for those located in the territories in the rural revitalization zone (ZRR)”. From 2025, the subsidies should, according to them, reach 50,000 euros per House. “100% of France Services must be able to be sustained”, they conclude.
The government, which proclaims its attachment to the accessibility of public services, plans to open 150 new France Services spaces in 2023, to reach a total of 2,750 in the territory. The Ministry of Public Service told AFP on Tuesday that it was going to “look at” the proposals of parliamentarians, two days before Stanislas Guerini’s trip scheduled for Thursday in Cantal (department from which Bernard Delcros is elected) and precisely devoted to “the continuation and amplification of the deployment of the France Services program”.
