Union Nationale des CLLAJ (UNCLLAJ)

What Union Nationale des CLLAJ (UNCLLAJ) does

Union Nationale des CLLAJ (UNCLLAJ) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 2002 that serves as the national federation for approximately 100 local Comités Locaux pour le Logement Autonome des Jeunes (CLLAJ) and Services Logement Jeunes associations distributed across France. Its primary mission is to support young people aged 16 to 30 in accessing autonomous housing by coordinating local advisory services, policy advocacy, and a portfolio of national tools and events. The organization is governed by a 15-member Conseil d'Administration chaired since June 2025 by President Edith Pescheux, with day-to-day operations led by National Delegate Théodora Lizop and a 12-person headquarters team split between Paris (registered office) and Lyon (administrative headquarters).

UNCLLAJ's product and service portfolio spans four revenue-generating lines built around a shared technology backbone. SILoJ' is the network's web-based information system, launched in 2024 by Augure Engineering as the replacement for the legacy LD CLLAJ software, offering free data collection plus paid modules for young person tracking, observatory statistics, and Action Logement billing automation at €630-€930 per year. Projet'Toit is a youth-facing digital platform providing first-level housing information and online appointment booking for departments without physical CLLAJ coverage. FORMA-CLLAJ delivers Qualiopi-certified professional training at €300/day for members and €375/day for non-members, and ACTILoJ offers scope-based territorial diagnostics and consulting to local authorities and public institutions. The organization also coordinates the annual Semaine du Logement des Jeunes (since 2010, 17th edition in 2026) and produces a library of downloadable rental document templates and pedagogical tools.

The business model combines recurring membership dues from affiliated CLLAJ associations (calculated on a progressive N-1 resource tier), subscription software licensing (SILoJ'), per-diem professional training, and project-based consulting, supplemented by institutional grants from core partners including DIHAL, Action Logement, CNAF, and Macif, with additional support from ANCT, Fondation Macif, and Fondation AFNIC for digital platform development. End-user services to young people are free of charge, with monetisation occurring through the B2B professional services arm. Geographic reach is exclusively domestic (France), with distribution through the federated CLLAJ network, four regional unions (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Hauts-de-France, Île-de-France, PACA), and the Projet'Toit digital channel.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Emmaüs France: Large French federation of housing-inclusion and social-economy organizations. Same nonprofit/membership-based federated model, broader housing-inclusion scope but overlapping end-beneficiaries and advocacy platforms (ALERTE, UNIOPSS).
• Union des Missions Locales (UNML): Federation of ~440 Missions Locales delivering socio-professional support to 16–25-year-olds. Co-organizer of Semaine du Logement des Jeunes with UNCLLAJ; shared youth segment but UNML's scope is professional integration rather than housing, making the overlap partial.
• CROUS (Centre Régional des Œuvres Universitaires et Scolaires): Public operator of student housing and student life services across France. Comparable end-beneficiary (young people in housing stress), comparable national scale, but CROUS is a public establishment rather than a nonprofit federation and serves a narrower student subset.
• Fondation Abbé Pierre: France's leading housing-advocacy and research nonprofit. Comparable as a nonprofit voice for housing access — overlapping on policy research, observatoire-style outputs, and national advocacy through shared collectives (ALERTE).

Regional players

• FEANTSA (European Federation of National Organisations Working with the Homeless): European-level umbrella for homelessness/housing-exclusion organizations where UNCLLAJ is a member. Comparable as a federating/advocacy body, but operates at supranational scope rather than delivering national services.

Direct peers

• Habitat et Humanisme: Federation of associations providing access-to-housing solutions and supported-living accompaniment for vulnerable populations, including young people. Comparable model (nonprofit, federation of local associations, mixed-mission of housing access + advocacy) and comparable funding mix.
• France Terre d'Asile: National nonprofit specialized in housing and integration support for young migrants and refugees. Comparable in serving young people facing housing barriers, with similar advocacy profile and digital service provision.
• ADIL (Agence Départementale d'Information sur le Logement): Department-level legal-housing-information service network under ANIL umbrella. Directly comparable information-service function for housing seekers; UNCLLAJ's Projet'Toit platform partially overlaps with ADIL's resource mission but specialized to youth.
• UNHAJ (Union des Foyers et Services pour Jeunes Travailleurs): National union of Foyers de Jeunes Travailleurs (residence-based youth-housing services) covering the same 16–30 demographic with housing, accompaniment, and professional services. Most functionally comparable French peer; overlap is reinforced by their joint co-organization of Semaine du Logement des Jeunes.

Emerging players

• FAGE (Fédération des Associations Générales Étudiantes): National federation of student associations engaged in student living-condition advocacy, including housing. Adjacent youth-housing focus from a student-led angle; uses some similar advocacy/policy vehicles (collectives, observatories).
