Equalis

What Equalis does

Equalis is a French non-profit association (Association Loi 1901) operating in the social and medico-social sector, headquartered in Mareuil-lès-Meaux, France. Founded in 2019 through the merger of three associations (Agir-Combattre-Réunir, La Rose des Vents, and Via Habitat), the organization provides comprehensive social support services to individuals and families in situations of precarity or exclusion across Île-de-France and Loiret. With 70+ establishments and nearly 770 employees, Equalis accompanied approximately 14,000 people annually and operates an €85M consolidated budget. The organization is led by Présidente Françoise Jan-Léger and Directrice Générale Claire Dupont.

The organization delivers services across eight integrated verticals: emergency response via the SIAO 77 platform handling 113,038 calls annually and 19,403 household evaluations; emergency and transitional housing (CHU, CHRS, RHVS, Solibail, AVDL, ASLL); integration programs for asylum seekers and refugees (HUDA, CADA, CPH); youth protection for unaccompanied minors (MNA) and young people aged 14-25 (SAAJ); healthcare for vulnerable populations (EMPP mobile psychiatry, LHSS, ACT, LAM); and professional insertion through IAE work sites (gardens, recyclerie, sewing, building) with 650 insertion workers annually and 65% return-to-employment outcomes. The underlying technology stack is limited to the SISIAO.net internal coordination platform for SIAO practitioners; no proprietary AI or technology product is disclosed.

Equalis operates under a social economy business model, with the majority of funding derived from public subsidies allocated by French government bodies including DDETS (Directions Départementales de l'Emploi, du Travail et des Solidarités), ARS (Agences Régionales de Santé), regional councils, departmental councils, and municipalities. Additional revenue streams include European Social Fund (FSE) grants (€542,400 for AVE 2026-2028), donations, and corporate partnerships for CSR fulfillment. Two wholly-owned commercial subsidiaries—Cycleva (waste collection and recycling) and La Rose des Vents Nord Sud (hotel management)—generate supplemental commercial revenue through insertion-by-economic-activity (IAE) operations. Services are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries as part of French public welfare programs.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Groupe SOS: Groupe SOS is a leading French social-economy group operating across housing, healthcare, youth, employment, and asylum services nationally. Its integrated model and multi-vertical portfolio closely parallel Equalis's structure, but at substantially larger scale.
• Croix-Rouge française: Croix-Rouge française is France's largest humanitarian organization with a much broader portfolio (health, emergency response, social action, training). It operates overlapping services (shelters, healthcare for precarious populations, IAE) but at significantly greater national scale than Equalis.

Direct peers

• Coallia: Coallia is a major French nonprofit operating CADA, CHRS, CHU, FJT, and IAE programs across France, including significant Île-de-France presence. Its portfolio of housing, asylum, and insertion services directly overlaps with Equalis's service lines and territorial coverage.
• Association Aurore: Aurore is a major French nonprofit association providing accommodation, social insertion, healthcare, and asylum services across France. It is a direct comparable to Equalis in both mission (housing exclusion, integration, health-precariousness) and operating model, and is already a documented coordination partner of Equalis.
• Samusocial de Paris: Samusocial de Paris operates mobile teams, emergency shelters, and LHSS/LAM beds for homeless populations in the Paris region. Its emergency response and medicalized shelter services closely mirror Equalis's SIAO 77/78 and healthcare pôle (EMPP, LHSS, ACT, LAM).
• Habitat et Humanisme: Habitat et Humanisme builds and manages accompanied housing for low-income and excluded families across France. Its focus on Solibail-equivalent intermediate housing, AVDL-style accompaniment, and supported-living models overlaps closely with Equalis's Logement Accompagné programs serving 3,244 persons.
• Emmaüs France: Emmaüs France federates a national network of social and insertion organizations (shelter, recyclerie, insertion-by-economic-activity) and overlaps directly with Equalis's housing and IAE activities. Both share a nonprofit governance model and serve comparable vulnerable populations.
• Fondation Abbé Pierre: Fondation Abbé Pierre is the leading French nonprofit focused on homelessness and inadequate housing, operating shelter, advocacy, and housing-accompaniment programs. Its mission profile closely mirrors Equalis's housing-exclusion and emergency-response activities.
• ADOMA: ADOMA (a CDC subsidiary) is France's largest operator of social housing for asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants, operating CADA/CPH facilities. Its scale and focus on housing-for-vulnerable-populations make it a direct comparable to Equalis's Integration and Hébergement divisions.
• France Terre d'Asile: France Terre d'Asile is one of the leading French associations operating CADA, HUDA, and CPH facilities for asylum seekers and refugees, directly comparable to Equalis's Integration division serving 2,570 persons annually.
