What Batigère does

The organization manages approximately 35,000+ social housing units serving 80,000+ tenants, operating through seven core subsidiaries including BATIGERE HABITAT, BATIGÈRE EN ÎLE-DE-FRANCE, BATIGERE GRAND EST, BATIGÈRE RHÔNE-ALPES, BATIGERE Habitats Solidaires, BATIGERE MAISON FAMILIALE, and the AMLI association (founded 1965) which provides specialized housing for vulnerable populations, asylum seekers, and migrants. The company holds "Entreprise à Mission" status and brands itself as a "Bailleur Citoyen" (Civic Landlord), integrating social and environmental objectives into its governance.

Batigère's technology infrastructure centers on the D'clic client portal for tenant account management, payment processing, and service requests; the offres.batigere.fr (Quadral) online housing marketplace; a mobile application for Android; and the Échanger Habiter platform for inter-tenant housing exchange. The Quadral subsidiary provides additional commercial real estate services including property transactions, expertise/valuation, project management, financing advisory, and digital services for institutional partners. No AI/ML features, public APIs, or modern SaaS integrations are disclosed. The organization holds RGAA V4.1 accessibility certification (partial compliance under 2022-2025 plan) and GDPR/RGPD compliance frameworks.

Revenue derives from regulated social housing rentals under French law (Loi SRU), covering PLUS (standard social rent), PLAI (very social rent), and PLS (intermediate social rent) categories with income-based eligibility criteria. Pricing is determined by the French regulatory framework and billed monthly. The GIE federated ownership model combines ESH (Entreprises Sociales pour l'Habitat), associations, cooperatives, and an OPH under the Batigère brand. Customer segments include general population social housing applicants, vulnerable populations, asylum seekers, seniors aged 60+ (through intergenerational cohabitation with CAMARAGE), and students/young workers, with specialized support services delivered through the AMLI subsidiary.
