Groupe Habitat en Région

Activities

Groupe Habitat en Région, the third-largest provider of subsidized housing in France, is the social housing operator for the Caisses d’Epargne (which own 100% of the Group) and Groupe BPCE. Groupe Habitat en Région is comprised of 3 coordinating companies (sociétés de coordination, or SACs) and 14 subsidiaries located in the Hauts-de-France, PACA, Occitanie, Centre-Loire, and Pays de la Loire regions.

Each subsidiary operates as a fully-fledged company within its respective territory, working within the framework of a decentralized business model based on local presence and collective strength. This model is rooted in the historic ties that bind Groupe Habitat en région to the Caisses d’Epargne, which have been key shareholders and partners in social housing for 140 years. Groupe Habitat en région is committed to the public interest mission of providing accommodation and support to residents throughout their lives, and contributing to social cohesion and the attractiveness of local communities.

It unites its companies around its strategic plan: Habiter 2030 (‘Housing 2030’). This growth trajectory, designed to address societal and environmental challenges, is based on three pillars: accelerating its environmental and climate transition, strengthening its local presence and societal impact, and reinforcing its position as a major social housing provider.

The housing portfolio focuses primarily on social housing but also includes specialized housing solutions ranging from student housing to nursing homes (EHPAD), as well as so-called ‘intermediate’ housing. In addition to housing, the Group provides tenant services and support for those facing the greatest difficulties. Groupe Habitat en Région’s motto is “Useful, Supportive, and Socially Committed.”

Sport & Patronage

Working through partnerships with nonprofit organizations, philanthropic initiatives, and local projects, the companies of Groupe Habitat en Région promote access to sports, a vector for inclusion and social cohesion particularly for young people. Two companies within the Group – Erilia and Famille & Provence – working in partnership with Caisse d’Epargne CEPAC, have facilitated the installation of neighborhood basketball courts in several urban areas.

Sia Habitat also supports the nonprofit La Chance aux Enfants, enabling young tenants to experience the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after a year of sports activities. These initiatives aimed at fostering social cohesion also include tournaments and other sporting events and activities.
