SOLIHA

What SOLIHA does

SOLIHA Drôme (legal name: SOLIHA Drôme, Solidaires pour l'habitat, association loi 1901 à but non lucratif) is a French non-profit social housing association founded in 1963 and headquartered in Valence (Drôme). The association delivers a portfolio of five core métiers — accompanied rehabilitation, territorial project management, social housing production, social accompaniment, and social rental management — through a multidisciplinary staff of 109 employees organised into three operational poles (Habitat; Gestion Locative et Sociale; Développement et maîtrise d'ouvrage) and a broader Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regional network of 10 SOLIHA associations employing 394 people.

Service delivery is built around in-person and home-visit accompaniment rather than a software platform, using sub-brands such as Mon Accompagnateur Rénov' (state-approved renovation advisor since January 2022), the Bricothèque self-rehabilitation workshop, the Truck SOLIHA mobile exhibition unit, the Espace Information Logement (EIL) information centres, and the Atelier 'Bien chez soi avec SOLIHA' prevention workshops. The proprietary asset is an exclusive Qualicert service quality framework (COFRAC-registered, 20 commitments, 99% satisfaction in 2022, renewed for a second 3-year cycle on 7 January 2023), supported by 60 years of operating history and a dense territorial footprint including permanent offices in Valence, Romans-sur-Isère, and Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux plus rotating permanences across Baronnies, Royans-Vercors, Portes de Drôm'Ardèche, Die, and Dieulefit-Bourdeaux.

The business model is grant-and-fee based rather than transactional. SOLIHA Drôme is approved as a 'Service Social d'Intérêt Général' and operates Mon Accompagnateur Rénov' services free of charge to households, with revenues drawn from public subsidies and grants (French state, Département de la Drôme, ANAH, Action Logement, Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, FEDER/FSE, ADEME, CAF, Carsat, Caisse des Dépôts, Fondation de France) and from social rental management fees for delegated property management on behalf of municipalities and institutional owners. In 2022 the association generated €45.3 million of construction works, accompanied 1,031 households, improved or adapted 1,356 private dwellings, managed 686 social rental units, and housed a cumulative 8,361 households over time.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Adoma: National public social housing operator (formerly SONACOTRA) managing tens of thousands of temporary and social housing units. Listed as a channel partner of SOLIHA Drôme; comparable on the social rental management dimension with much larger scale.
• Habitat et Humanisme: Major French non-profit organization combining property acquisition, social rental management, and housing accompaniment for disadvantaged households. Overlaps strongly with SOLIHA's social production, gestion locative sociale, and accompagnement social missions, with a national footprint.
• Procivis: Federation of regional not-for-profit housing entities providing homeownership and renovation services. Partner of SOLIHA Drôme; broadly comparable model as a social enterprise active across housing access, renovation financing, and property services.
• CDC Habitat (Groupe Caisse des Dépôts): France's largest social housing operator, owned by Caisse des Dépôts. Provides social and intermediate rental housing at national scale, comparable in its gestion locative sociale and production activity, with much deeper balance sheet and financing access.
• Emmaüs Habitat (formerly Emmaüs France housing entities): Social housing operator associated with the Emmaüs movement, providing housing solutions for people in precarious situations. Highly comparable social mission and rental management activity, with national scale.

Direct peers

• ADIL (Agence Départementale d'Information sur le Logement): France's departmental housing information agencies providing neutral legal and financial housing information to households. Co-located with SOLIHA in the Maison de l'Habitat in Valence, with overlapping audiences and complementary mandates on housing rights and accompaniment.
• Other SOLIHA Associations (e.g., SOLIHA Paris-Hauts-de-Seine, SOLIHA Rhône): Sister associations within the SOLIHA Movement running the same five core métiers (réhabilitation accompagnée, conduite de projet de territoire, production de logement d'insertion, accompagnement social, gestion locative sociale) under the same Qualicert framework. Direct operational and methodological peers.

Others

• FAPIL (Fédération des Associations et des Acteurs pour la Promotion et l'Insertion par le Logement): National federation representing small associations providing intermediated social rental (sous-location) and housing accompaniment services. Closely comparable to SOLIHA's 'sous-location' and social accompaniment offerings, though at a federated rather than direct-service level.
• CARSAT Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (Caisse d'Assurance Retraite et de la Santé au Travail): Regional retirement insurance fund that co-funds home adaptation for elderly retirees (a key SOLIHA segment via MaPrimeAdapt' and ARS partnerships). An institutional funder that operates closely comparable elderly housing adaptation and loss-of-autonomy prevention programs but as a funder rather than a direct deliverer.
• France Rénov' national platform (MonAccompagnateurRénov' approved operators): The state-approved network of neutral renovation accompaniment operators under the France Rénov' framework. SOLIHA Drôme is one such operator; this peer category represents competing approved operators that fulfill the same mandate in other territories or compete in Drôme.
