PROJETS-19

What PROJETS-19 does

Projets-19 is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) founded in 1997 and headquartered at 9 Rue Mathis in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, with a second antenna at 145 Rue Belliard in the 18th arrondissement. It operates as a hyperlocal development association in northeast Paris, employing 12 staff and serving residents of priority neighborhoods (QPV) in the 18th and 19th arrondissements, alongside local associations, social economy entrepreneurs and enterprises seeking services.

Its core activity is organized along two axes: employment accompaniment (including PLIE, Parcours d'Elles, Pour l'emploi dans les quartiers, and the Territoire Zéro Chômeur experiment in Rosa Parks) and project incubation (Epicéas ESS incubator, CitésLab business creation support, La Pépinière Mathis for associations, Point d'Appui associative life support, DLA Dispositif Local d'Accompagnement). Supplemental offerings include participatory democracy programs (Budget Participatif, Fonds de Participation des Habitants) and fee-based services for enterprises and local authorities — room rental, training, and recruitment assistance (Recrut'19).

The business model is primarily that of a publicly funded association: revenue is sourced from municipal and regional grants (Ville de Paris, Mairie du 19ème, DRIEETS, Pôle Emploi) supplemented by service fees from room rental and training delivery to enterprises, local authorities and associative networks. The organization has no proprietary technology platform. In September 2021, Projets-19 co-founded Emile et Rosa as a separately constituted Entreprise à But d'Emploi under the TZCLD framework to employ long-term unemployed Rosa Parks residents, with the EBE habilitation formally granted in February 2022 for a minimum five-year term.

Broad incumbents

• France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi): France Travail (which absorbed Pôle Emploi) is the national public employment service and a direct institutional partner of Projets-19. Comparable as the broader public-sector employment ecosystem, but operates at national scale rather than local accompaniment.

Direct peers

• France Active: France Active is a national network financing and supporting social and solidarity economy (ESS) entrepreneurs across France. Highly comparable to Projets-19's Epicéas incubator and ESS project support work, though it operates at national rather than hyperlocal scale.
• Avise: Avise is a French social economy technical assistance organization that supports ESS project leaders with consulting, training, and impact measurement. Directly comparable to Projets-19's DLA and Point d'Appui services, with overlapping target beneficiaries in the social economy.
• Centre Social et Culturel Rosa Parks: Centre Social Rosa Parks is a Paris 19th community social center serving the same neighborhood as Projets-19's TZCLD experiment. Directly comparable as a neighborhood social service provider and documented Projets-19 partner hosting weekly workshops for long-term unemployed residents.
• Maisons de l'Emploi: Maisons de l'Emploi is a national network of local employment houses coordinating employment actors at the territorial level. Comparable to Projets-19's role as a local coordinator of employment support services in the 18th/19th arrondissements.
• Missions Locales: Missions Locales is the national network of local youth employment support organizations. Comparable to Projets-19's PLIE and employment accompaniment work, though it focuses on youth (16-25) while Projets-19 serves a broader adult population in priority neighborhoods.
• Emmaüs-Défi: Emmaüs-Défi is a Paris-based social integration organization providing employment pathways to people in great exclusion. Comparable to Projets-19's employment support work for disadvantaged populations; Emmaüs-Défi is also a documented partner of Projets-19 on TZCLD mobilization events.
• Régies de Quartier: Régies de Quartier is the national federation of neighborhood-based organizations providing employment and local services in priority urban areas. Closely comparable to Projets-19's model — Régie de Quartier du 19ème is in fact a direct partner and co-developer of the Emile et Rosa EBE.
• BGE (Boutiques de Gestion): BGE is a national network supporting business creation and entrepreneurship across France. Directly comparable to Projets-19's CitésLab program for business creation support, with similar methodologies around feasibility studies and entrepreneur coaching.

Others

• Caisse des Dépôts (Banque des Territoires): Caisse des Dépôts, through Banque des Territoires, finances and supports local development and social economy initiatives across France.
