The Collectivity of Saint-Martin and the State have extended by amendment the Saint-Martin City Contract (2015-2020) until December 2023. This contract was established under the co-management of the Collectivity and the Prefecture , in partnership with local institutions. A new call for projects has just been launched with associations and public establishments for the current year; it is open until March 1, 2023.
The city policy is a policy of urban cohesion and solidarity, national and local, for the benefit of the inhabitants of disadvantaged neighborhoods. It is led by the State, local authorities and their groups. On the territory of Saint-Martin, five priority themes drive the City Contract: Youth, Sports and Culture – Solidarity and Health – Security and Crime Prevention – Living Environment and the Environment – economic development and professional integration.
In 2022, 70 projects were financed by the State and the Collectivity of Saint-Martin to the tune of €900, deployed in the priority neighborhoods (QPV) of Saint-Martin, Sandy Ground and Quartier d'Orléans, but also in the active monitoring districts (QVA) that are Saint-James, Agrément, Hameau du Pont, Grand-Case, Concordia and Cul-de-Sac.
The steering committee ensured diversity in the selection of projects carried out by the associations. The city contract has thus worked to promote professional integration, support for business creation, gender equality and the fight against discrimination. It has also financed actions in terms of crime prevention, in particular on the subject of road safety, assistance to victims and prevention of discrimination.
Finally, young people from priority neighborhoods were also able to benefit from educational, cultural and sports activities. The complete file for the 2023 call for projects is already available on the website of the Collectivity of Saint-Martin www.com-saint-martin.fr (Calls for projects section) and on the website of the Prefecture of Saint-Martin – Saint-Barthélemy http://www.saint-barth-saint-martin.gouv.fr/
With regard to projects initiated in 2022, the interim reports drawn up by the lead structures must be returned before January 31, 2023.
