What homnia does

Homnia is a French social enterprise founded in 2013 by Maëlys Cantzler that develops inclusive co-housing villas combining shared housing for adults with disabilities and affordable rental apartments within a single physical site. Each villa hosts 6 permanent colocataires (private bedrooms plus shared common spaces) supported by a pluridisciplinary team of approximately 8 educators delivering 24/7 assistance through pooled individual care hours, plus one stepping-stone apartment for residents transitioning to autonomy and one temporary stay unit. Upper floors of each building contain PLS/PLI social housing units (T1 to T4) allocated on income-based criteria, creating mixed-income communities that integrate disabled and non-disabled residents. The organization operates as a groupement d'entreprises (business consortium) anchored by the non-profit association Le Club des Six, with member companies CapServices (home care) and CapSolidarité contributing a portion of revenue to fund the social mission.

The business model combines three recurring revenue streams: social housing rental income regulated by annual state rent ceilings, 24/7 home care services (Services à la Personne) billed to disability support systems, and solidarity contributions from consortium member companies. Go-to-market is sales-led enterprise field sales targeting French municipalities, which contribute land (1,000-2,000 m² near town centers) and receive in exchange social housing creation, 6-8 local jobs per villa, and community integration benefits without major capital outlay. Resident recruitment flows through family networks, medical/paramedical contacts, MDPH (disability commission) referrals, and trial stays. As of the most recent data, Homnia operates 26 villas across 8 French regions with 5 additional openings in the pipeline. The company has no proprietary technology platform — its core assets are real estate, care workforce, regulatory licenses, and the integrated consortium structure.

Headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt, Homnia is a private company with 11-50 employees. Its positioning emphasizes cost efficiency (50% cheaper than institutional care) and validated social outcomes (89% autonomy gain, 95% better daily support per a 2018 study on Villa Sabrina). The company has secured institutional recognition including the Bleu Blanc Zèbre 3-year label and partnership visibility with Amundi, Région Île-de-France, and ARS Île-de-France.
