Toit à Moi

What Toit à Moi does

Toit à Moi is a French nonprofit association (association loi 1901) founded in 2007 and headquartered in Rezé (near Nantes), whose mission is to provide real, individually-owned transitional apartments — "logements tremplin" — to people experiencing homelessness, paired with long-term social reintegration support. Beneficiaries are referred exclusively through partner social emergency structures (SAMU social, CHRS, Fédération des Acteurs de la Solidarité) and must demonstrate sufficient autonomy to live independently; average stay before transition to permanent housing is 2–3 years. Across 19–20 regional antennas in metropolitan and rural France, the association has cumulatively housed ~200 people in 80 owned apartments and currently accompanies 149 individuals.

The association's service offering is structured around three pillars: (1) Loger — purchasing individual apartments in ordinary residential buildings using bank mortgages; (2) Accompagner — personalised social support covering health, administrative, employment, and life-project coaching; and (3) Tisser des Liens — community integration activities connecting beneficiaries with volunteers and local partners. There is no proprietary technology platform: operations rely on standard CRM (YouDay), donation processing (iRaiser/Payzen), a Drupal website hosted on AWS Europe, and basic integration with social emergency referral partners. The model is deliberately analogue — apartments are "diffused" within ordinary buildings to preserve social mixing rather than concentrated in dedicated shelters.

Revenue is generated entirely through philanthropic channels: recurring monthly donations from ~220 individual sponsors (parrains and marraines) at tiers of €15/€20/€30 (with a 75% French tax reduction), one-time donations at €150–€300, and a Club mécènes programme encompassing 50+ corporate sponsors and foundations including BNP Paribas, EDF Foundation, Fondation Nexity, Fondation Macif, AG2R La Mondiale, Bouygues Immobilier, Vinci, Deloitte, Crédit Agricole, Enedis, GRDF, and European Social Fund (FSE+) co-funding. The unit economics are explicit: 100 donors at €20/month for 5 years funds one apartment purchase. Go-to-market is community-led — beneficiaries via referral, donors via website/events/social media, corporate sponsors via direct outreach and the dedicated Club mécènes programme. The association is governed by President Laurent de Ferry (since 2019), is Don en Confiance certified (2024), and won the M6 Unlimited Engaged Hackathon in June 2026.

Revenue model

1. Regular monthly donations from individual patrons (parrains/marraines): Individual donors give regular monthly amounts (e.g. €20/month) which collectively fund mortgage payments on apartments purchased by the association. With a 75% tax reduction in France, a €20/month donation costs the donor only €5 after tax relief. This is the primary funding mechanism for acquiring housing.
2. Corporate philanthropy and sponsorship (mécénat): Companies provide financial donations, skills-based sponsorship (mécénat de compétences), and in-kind support (e.g., renovation work, window replacements, electricians' labour). Corporate sponsors include foundations (Fondation Nexity, Fondation Macif, AG2R La Mondiale, etc.), banks (BNP Paribas, CIC, Crédit Agricole), and real estate/construction firms (Bouygues Immobilier, Vinci, Léon Grosse).
3. One-time donations: The association also accepts one-time donations at fixed tiers (€150, €200, €300) or variable amounts, for donors who prefer non-recurring contributions.

Core offering

Toit à Moi is a nonprofit association that purchases individual apartments in ordinary city buildings and provides them as transitional housing ('logements tremplins') to homeless adults referred by social emergency structures. Beneficiaries stay for an average of 2-3 years while receiving long-term social support (healthcare access, administrative assistance, employment coaching) and community integration activities, with the association retaining ownership and cycling apartments between successive residents. The model is funded by recurring monthly donations from individual sponsors (parrains/marraines) and corporate mécènes, who collectively repay the mortgages on each apartment.

Product overview

Toit à Moi is a nonprofit organization operating a transitional housing platform with three integrated components: (1) Logement Tremplin - apartments purchased by the association that serve as temporary housing for homeless individuals and families, (2) Accompagnement Social - personalized social support services including health, administrative, and professional reintegration assistance, and (3) Tisser des Liens - community integration activities connecting beneficiaries with volunteers and partners. The organization operates across 20 locations in France, with apartments being 'diffused' within regular buildings, allowing beneficiaries to integrate into normal community life.
