What Erilia does

Erilia is a French Société Anonyme d'HLM (HLM public limited company) and Société à Mission (mission-driven company) headquartered in Marseille, operating as the 4th largest Entreprise Sociale pour l'Habitat in France and the #1 social housing provider in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and Corsica regions. Following its merger with Logirem effective July 1, 2024, Erilia manages over 91,700 social housing units serving 215,400 households in 2024, with operations spanning 370 communes via 7 regional directions, 21 agencies, and 9 antennes. The company is a subsidiary of Groupe Habitat en Région, backed by Caisses d'Epargne and Groupe BPCE, which provide capital and strategic governance.

The company's core product is regulated social housing rental across PLAI, PLUS, and PLS rent categories, supplemented by intermediate housing via its Vilia subsidiary, commercial premises rentals (~700 units), parking and storage, student housing (~3,000 units), and a homeownership pathway (accession sociale à la propriété) via Erilia Accession with PTZ loan eligibility and a 10-year buyback guarantee. Erilia also operates Carré Syndic for co-ownership management, Deltalia as a development GIE, Erilia Aménagement, and Génération Habitat & Services for specialized populations. The supporting technology is a web-based tenant portal (Espace Client) for rent payment, document retrieval, and service requests, integrated with the national demande-logement-social.gouv.fr allocation system.

Erilia's revenue is generated primarily through regulated recurring monthly rents across ~91,700 social housing units, with diversified supplemental income from intermediate housing, commercial leases, parking, and occasional unit sales. Distribution operates through a hybrid online/offline model — the website property search, 21 physical agencies, and the national government portal — alongside partnerships with Action Logement for employer-assisted housing and prefectures for the 5% civil-servant reservation. Tenant acquisition is capped by government resource ceilings, with 70% of the French population technically eligible for social housing. In 2024, Erilia invested €334.5M in construction (delivering 1,560 new units) and €39M in rehabilitation (2,200+ units), with reported tenant satisfaction of 77% and 80.4%+ of housing stock in energy class A/B/C.
