Housing

Electric security of poor households

Face au constat d’une insécurité électrique latente qui concerne près de la moitié du logement ancien, et qui présente ainsi des risques d’incendies et d’électrisation marqués en particulier dans les logements qui sont aussi en situation de précarité énergétique du fait de leur vétusté, Schneider Electric travaille à la création d’une offre destinée aux ménages fragiles pour favoriser les travaux d’amélioration de la sécurité électrique de leur logement et du confort de leur logement.

Senegal Development

Action Tank in Senegal

L’Action Tank in partnership with Total explore the opportunity to launch an Action Tank in Senegal. The objective is to find few projects in various sectors aiming to improve the revenu of the poorest.

Nutrition

Access to quality food

In France, 12% of households declare that they are food insecure and cannot buy basic food products to prepare balanced meals. How to make quality food accessible to all and facilitate a better nutritional balance?

Access to employment

Courte Echelle – Integration in the workplace

In France, 65% of the working population is unemployed or has already been unemployed. Among the unemployed, 44% have experienced this situation for more than two years [1]. Unemployment mostly affects people with less qualifications, who often turn out to be poor.

Housing

Renovation of dilapidated condominiums

In France, an estimated 15% of condominiums are said to be very fragile. This amounts to 100,000 condominiums, or more than 1 million housing units. What are the available options for the co-owners living in fragile condominiums?

Housing

Construction of affordable housing

In France, there is a qualitative and a quantitative gap between supply and demand of affordable housing units. Social landlords are facing increasing difficulties in housing modest and very modest households in their new rental stock, especially in tense areas of supply and demand. The rents in the new rental stock are indeed higher than in the old amortized rental stock. How can we address this affordability issue?

Banking services

L’Appui

In France, it is estimated that 5 to 6 million people are excluded from the banking system. 45% of housholds having filed for overindebtness in the last 12 months do not resort to banking services on a regular basis. What solutions can be found for these households?

Mobility

Mobilize – Socially responsible garages

For most of the 14% of the French population living under the poverty line, mobility is key to social and profesionnal integration. Because they often live far away from city-centres, because they lack adequate public transportation options, or because they have atypical working schedules, having their own vehicule is absolutely essential for them to find or to sustain employment. What is the appropriate mobility solution we could offer ?

Mobility

Club Mobilité

For many, having a car is key to finding or keeping a job. But people who are unemployed, in precarious job situations, or having bad bank records do not have access to traditional forms of credit to buy the car they need. How can we help them gain access to an affordable vehicle ?

Loneliness of the elderly

Most of the elderly, including the poorest, wish to age at home as long as possible. Several issues are raised by those who can still live independently . These issues come with other different challenges. How can we address these issues using a comprehensive approach ?

Insurance

Housing insurance

Comprehensive home insurance products are complex. Insurers have very different ways of covering risks. The products they offer are either standardized, either very specific. Each insurer has his own general terms and conditions, and his own capital guarantees, which vary according to the severity of the incured loss.
Can we come up with an appropriate insurance product for social housing tenants?

Housing

Housing first for the homeless

In France, homeless people have to navigate through a complex set of services to make their way to long-term independent housing. The structure of available shelter and housing for the homeless can be compared to a « staircase of transition » (Sahlin, 2005). The steps of the staircase lead gradually from emergency shelters to transitional housing, and finally, to long term independent housing. Is there an alternative path leading to independent housing?

Nutrition

Programme Malin

According to a 2015 Unicef report, every year in France, 160,000 children (ie. one out of five) are born poor. This raises two important issues: the issue of access to affordable food products and the issue of access to nutritional advice. How can we increase awareness around nutrition issues for these households? What can be done to make these products more affordable?

Health

Optique solidaire

In France, 8 million people live below the poverty line and have difficulties in accessing healthcare services, including eye care services. What can be done to help poor people facing eye care issues?
