13 AVENIR

What 13 AVENIR does

13 Avenir is a French non-profit association founded in 2017 and headquartered in Paris's 13th arrondissement. It operates as an 'Entreprise à But d'Emploi' (EBE) under the national Territoires Zéro Chômeur de Longue Durée (TZCLD) experiment, co-piloted by the Mairie du 13ème and Ville de Paris. Its core purpose is to create non-delocalizable, permanent (CDI) employment for residents of the Bédier-Boutroux and Oudin\u00e9-Chevaleret neighborhoods who have been unemployed for over a year, by developing neighborhood services that address unmet local needs.\n\nThe organization operates a multi-service concierge and reuse-platform model anchored by three physical locations: Comptoir Patay (senior concierge), Comptoir Bédier (general services plus textile boutique), and Espace Plan Libre (coworking space). It runs three reuse/upcycling workshops (textile with 5 seamstresses and 1 tailor; wood from pallet materials; bicycle repair), an urban gardening space (La Pépinière), and a bicycle-based catering sub-brand (La Cyclo Popote). Service delivery spans two segments: residents (minor home repairs, pet sitting, walking, senior assistance, digital workshops, coworking) and local businesses (last-mile delivery, itinerant advertising, waste collection, workplace quality-of-life solutions). Since 2017, 13 Avenir has recruited 116 neighborhood residents and holds 64 CDI positions, serving approximately 150 individual clients and 70 enterprise clients including Paris Habitat, RIVP, In'li, Elogie-Siemp, Accenture, Cemex, and BPRI.\n\nThe business model blends earned revenue from service fees, a €5/month senior subscription, product sales through the textile boutique, workshop participation fees (€5-25), and enterprise service contracts, with public funding co-financed by the European Social Fund (FSE+) under the 2016-2020 and 2021-2027 'Emploi, inclusion, jeunesse et compétences' programs. Distribution is local and direct, relying on physical Comptoirs, mobile/itinerant services, and institutional referral partnerships with France Travail (job center) and three major Paris social housing providers. The organization holds no patents and discloses no proprietary technology beyond standard web and Recaptcha tooling.
