What Rq19 does

Régie de Quartier du 19ème (Rq19) is a non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 2002 and headquartered at 9 rue Colette Magny in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. It operates as a Structure d'Insertion par l'Activité Économique (SIAE) delivering three integrated missions: technical cleaning and green-space maintenance services, socio-professional insertion of local residents via CDDI contracts, and community-building activities (animations, a shared pedagogical garden, a tool library, and event equipment lending).

The technical services use professional-grade equipment — high-speed monobrushes, Karcher hot/cold pressure washers, electric tractors, carpet injection-extraction cleaners, and scaffolding — with exclusively electric equipment deployed for green-space work. Roughly 60 staff operate in cleaning (common areas, parking, street sweeping, waste management for bailleurs sociaux, copropriétés and Mairie de Paris schools/crèches) and 6-8 staff handle green spaces. Approximately 50 insertion contract employees are supported alongside ~700 permanent staff, with training pathways to CACES and CQP Agent d'Entretien qualifications.

Revenue is generated primarily through direct service contracts with social-housing providers (Paris Habitat, RIVP) and the Mairie de Paris, supplemented by contract work with copropriétés, modest membership fees for the Jardin Ver Têtu (€10-€20/year), the Bricothèque (€6/year), and Kit de la Fête (€20/year), plus institutional funding from DRIEETS, ANCT, CAF and FDVA. The organisation is part of the national Mouvement des Régies network and operates under a General Assembly governance model with a volunteer Board and a salaried executive led since May 2025 by General Director Alice Gauny and President Guilhem Tabarly.

Broad incumbents

• Sodexo: Global facility management and quality-of-life services company. Broad incumbent with cleaning and facilities capabilities serving institutional clients worldwide; not specialized in the insertion/community model.
• Onet: Major French cleaning and facility services group operating at national scale. Broad incumbent offering similar commercial cleaning services to institutional clients but without the social insertion and community-building mission.
• Idverde: Major European landscaping and green space services company. Broad incumbent offering similar green space maintenance capabilities at scale to public and private clients, but as a commercial player without the insertion mission.

Regional players

• Régie de Quartier de Lyon: Régie de Quartier in Lyon operating under the same Mouvement des Régies network with the identical triple-mission model. Regional peer due to geographic separation from Paris while sharing the same organizational framework and approach.

Emerging players

• Vitamine T: Major French social enterprise providing employment insertion across multiple sectors including services. Comparable for the insertion-by-work model and the mission of sustainable integration for excluded populations.
• Groupe ID'EES: French social enterprise group providing integration through various service activities (cleaning, logistics, recycling). Emerging player with similar insertion-by-employment mission but broader sectoral scope and multi-region footprint.
• Ares: French social enterprise running insertion activities across multiple sectors. Comparable for the social mission and operating model of building work-based integration pathways for disadvantaged populations.

Others

• Emmaüs: Major French social organization running second-hand, integration, and community activities across France. Thematically related for the social/environmental mission and integration ethos, but with materially different operational activities (collection, recycling, retail).

Direct peers

• Régie de Quartier de Paris 10ème: Another Régie de Quartier in the Mouvement des Régies network, operating in Paris's 10th arrondissement with the same triple-mission model (cleaning/green space services + employment insertion + community activities).
