Since the beginning of its partnership with Habitat & Humanisme, Altarea has participated in the financing of more than 20 projects, family boarding houses or intergenerational residences, representing 427 housing units created for families and isolated people.
Over the next three years, Altarea will continue its support through the support of real estate projects and the financing of three permanent positions within the association to participate in the fight against poor housing. Aware of the challenges of sustainable development for society, and in particular the carbon impact of real estate activity, Altarea will also support Habitat & Humanisme in terms of technical engineering, to improve the energy performance of current and future housing stock. . Indeed, developing through new construction and renovation a stock of quality housing with satisfactory energy performance remains a challenge to be met.
Altarea also wanted to continue its support for actions in favor of inclusive and intergenerational housing and add a new dimension, on the reception of the elderly and caregivers, in connection with the Habitat and Humanism Care structure.
“We have been supporting Habitat & Humanisme for more than 15 years, with whom we share common values and the desire to create a more inclusive city, with a positive impact where everyone finds their place. On this day of international solidarity, and while 4 million people are poorly housed or homeless in France, we are renewing our partnership to provide concrete responses to the most vulnerable. It is a partnership of which I am particularly proud, which brings together many Group employees and which illustrates, through housing, our vision of the city, that of a city for all", says Alain Taravella, President and Founder of Altarea.
“International Human Solidarity Day is the day chosen to mention the renewal of the sponsorship that Altarea offers to Habitat et Humanisme. 15 years, already which bears witness to relationships that have been built around solidarity. The support of Altarea, our first patron, is not only financial, even if it is important, it is also human. Our association is sensitive to the help provided by professionals who have a demand for quality by ensuring that they design places that create links, hence the intergenerational that Altarea has helped us to develop.
Alain Taravella, Chairman of the Group, emphasizes health, which cannot be reduced only to the requirement of care, but to an environmental approach within which housing must fully find its place. Building must turn out to be an act of reconciliation, a humanism, the very one that leads to this renewal of a historic partnership, not only to continue, but to do something new. Solidarity is a call to imagine something different and to build it,” replies Bernard Devert, President and Founder of Habitat et Humanisme.
