What Majt does

MAJT (Maison d'Accueil des Jeunes Travailleurs) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) headquartered at 11-13 rue Abélard, Lille, operating as a unified provider of furnished housing and socio-educational support for young people aged 16-32. It runs two FJT (Foyer de Jeunes Travailleurs) residences — Atrihome (175 places combining FJT and RJAM status) and Thumesnil (111 places, currently subject to a planned 2030 relocation), plus the standalone KIALA device (relocated to dedicated premises at 23 rue Michel Ange in July 2025), the PLEDJ emergency-accommodation program, and a new SAS Jeunes device — for a total production capacity of 381 accommodation places.

The service stack combines physical accommodation (furnished rooms/studios of 13-20 m² with APL eligibility from month one) with structured socio-educational support (254 young people followed in 2024, including 110 under ASE child-protection), an activities and animation program (273 sessions, 1,664 participations in 2024), and the MySihaj digital resident portal that handles rent notices, appointment scheduling, document exports and online payment via PayAssso. Strategic operations are supported by the MySihaj attribution system, which processes weekly admission commissions and conducted over 600 pre-admission interviews in 2024.

Revenue is a hybrid of resident redevance (monthly housing fees plus €15/€3 membership fees and security deposits) and public subsidies from CAF (validating the 4-year Socioeducational Project), MEL via the Solidarity Housing Fund (FSL) for KIALA, Département du Nord for youth accommodation, Plan Logement d'Abord for KIALA, Action Logement for eco-gesture projects, plus ancillary grants such as a €5,000 Adecco Foundation donation in March 2024. Distribution is built on a partner referral network (Mission Locale, CMAO-led PLEDJ consortium, UNHAJ national body, CCAS Lille R.E.L.I.E.R project, GRAAL/Nazareth/ParteNord/AFEV/CROUS) and a self-serve online housing request platform. The organization is undergoing a leadership transition (Maryse Barrez appointed Directrice Générale on 1 September 2025, succeeding Olivier Devos after 17 years) and a collaborative rewrite of its associative project begun in May 2025.
