What Foyer Moderne de Schiltigheim does

Foyer Moderne de Schiltigheim is a French local public-private company (SAEML) founded on December 10, 1953, that operates as a regulated social housing provider. The company manages a portfolio of more than 1,500 social housing units across PLAI, PLUS, and PLS rent categories, supplemented by free-sector housing, approximately 300 parking spaces in the Futura parking facility, and commercial premises for professionals, merchants, and associations. Its portfolio is concentrated primarily in Schiltigheim, with some units in Bischheim and Strasbourg, and includes specialized residences for seniors (Foyer Soleil, 54 units), students (71 studios), people with mental disabilities, and vulnerable populations. The company serves approximately 1,500 households with a 33-person team organized into administrative and operational directions covering finance, accounting, debt prevention, legal, property maintenance, development, investment, and rental management.

The core technology stack consists of a property management platform with a tenant portal (espacelocataire.foyer-moderne.com), an online payment system via SystemPay (jepaieenligne.systempay.fr), and BIM tools for preventive maintenance. Since 2020, the company has been a member of the emha coordination society with Ophéa and Habitation Moderne, jointly representing 32,000+ housing units and 80,000+ tenants across 34 communes. In March 2025, the consortium launched the emha'bel housing exchange platform (bel-emha-groupe.fr), enabling tenants to swap dwellings across the full portfolio through profile creation, listing, bailiff validation, and CALEOL commission review. The underlying business model is a recurring subscription-style rental income from regulated social housing, complemented by parking and commercial rentals, government subsidies, CDC loans, EU FEDER regional development funding, and Eurométropole/Region grants for rehabilitation projects. Housing allocation is conducted through the mandatory demandedelogement-alsace.fr platform and the CALEOL commission based on regulatory income criteria.
