Intergenerational cohabitation

Many retired Parisians live alone and have one or more rooms available in their apartments. At the same time, many young people, students, interns and young workers are looking for financially accessible accommodation in Paris.

Based on this observation, 3 Parisian associations propose to connect young people looking for housing and seniors who want companionship and / or additional income. Depending on the formula chosen, cohabitation consists of a free provision of a furnished room against a regular presence of the young person in the evening, at night and some weekends, or the provision of a furnished room against an allowance of occupation.
