Solidarity housing

  • Ensemble2générations

    Ensemble2générations offers an intergenerational housing solution that matches French-speaking students only with senior hosts who have a spare room.

    🏠How does it work? You live in the home of an older person, at a moderate monthly cost (between €100 and €450), in exchange for a defined level of presence and interaction, depending on the chosen formula.

    🎯 Two housing options are available:

    • 🤝 Logement Présence et Partage: very low financial contribution (~€150/month), in exchange for a more regular and reassuring presence, including evenings and nights, as defined by the association.
    • ☕ Logement Convivialité: higher financial contribution (~€450/month), with lighter commitments focused on shared moments and friendly interaction.

    ✅ Why consider this option?

    • 💸 Significantly reduced housing costs
    • 📍 Access to accommodation in areas where student housing is scarce
    • 🌱 Experience a unique human experience

    🛠️Ensemble2générations supervises the matching process, sets the framework, and supports both students and hosts throughout the stay.
