Missions
The  Observatory serves to enlighten the public authorities so they are better able to respond to Parisians housing needs.

  • To centralise data relative to housing and living conditions:
  • Follow through actions carried out within the framework of -PLH-
  • Be a base from which knowledge of housing in Paris is diffused (carry out studies)
