HASSO

What HASSO does

HASSO (Habitat Solidarité Sud-Ouest), legally known as Société Anonyme de Coordination Habitat Solidarité Sud-Ouest, is a French public coordination entity created in December 2021 under the loi Elan of November 2018, which mandated that public social housing offices (OPH) managing fewer than 12,000 units group into coordination structures. HASSO groups six OPHs across the Occitanie region in southwestern France: Rodez Agglo Habitat, OPH du Gers, Lot Habitat, Tarn Habitat, Tarn-et-Garonne Habitat, and Habitat Audois (joined January 2022). The organization coordinates roughly 31,236 social housing units and residential foyers housing approximately 59,032 people across 438 communes, with a combined workforce of 646 employees and aggregate annual turnover (Chiffre d'affaires) of €146 million across member OPHs.

HASSO's core "product" is a coordination platform rather than a technology product. It provides mutualization of competencies, shared services, collective procurement, and coordinated investment capacity for construction, rehabilitation, and energy transition projects across its six member OPHs. Each OPH retains legal autonomy, governance autonomy, and direct tenant relationships; HASSO operates as the shared umbrella enabling scale efficiencies and collective action that individual OPHs under 12,000 units could not achieve independently. The organization invests over €100–137 million annually in construction and renovation, and member OPHs have committed to roughly €1 billion of investment over a ten-year horizon, supported by a major financing convention with Banque des Territoires for up to €427.4 million covering the 2023–2026 period.

HASSO's revenue model is not commercial in the venture-backed sense; it operates as a regulated public-sector coordination entity. Revenue at the member-OPH level comes from regulated French social housing rents (loyers HLM), which are income-tested and set by reference to APL/PLA benchmarks. Tenant assignment occurs through regulated attribution processes. The GTM motion is sales-led at the institutional level — coordinating with regional partners (Banque des Territoires, Region Occitanie, EDF, ENEDIS, FAOL) — while individual tenant relationships remain local and managed by each OPH. The end customer segment is low-to-moderate-income households across rural and intermediate territories of southwestern France.
