What Béziers Méditerranée Habitat does

Béziers Méditerranée Habitat is a French Office Public d'Habitat (OPH), a statutory public housing organization governed by French public law and operating under the oversight of the Communauté d'Agglomération Béziers Méditerranée and the Ville de Béziers. The organization manages a social housing portfolio of more than 9,000 units, with over 90% located within Béziers and the remainder distributed across surrounding municipalities of the Hérault department. Its portfolio is allocated to qualifying low- and moderate-income tenants via the national housing request portal and the local Commission d'Attribution des Logements (CALEOL), with rents regulated by French law and tenants potentially eligible for housing assistance (APL).

The organization operates four core service lines: social housing management (tenant selection, rent collection, maintenance, community relations), new construction (projects such as New Million, Le Triangle, and Le Gasquinoy), rehabilitation and energy renovation of existing stock (with the Victor Hugo residence having achieved BBC Effinergie Rénovation 2009 certification), and tenant engagement services through its Mon espace locataire online portal, three neighborhood proximity antennas (Gambetta, Iranget, La Grangette), and community programs including the ALICE virtual assistant for elderly residents. Revenue is generated primarily through regulated rental income supplemented by public subsidies from the French state, the Agglomération, and the Ville de Béziers. The organization is led by President Robert Ménard (Mayor of Béziers, appointed December 2022) and an interim Director General, with a workforce of 145 employees and a Board of Directors incorporating elected officials and tenant representatives.
