Challenge
In France, 300,000 people are homeless. This number has tripled since 2001...
Faced with ever-increasing needs, emergency accommodation facilities are saturated. What's more, the pathway to mainstream housing, which links together different forms of temporary accommodation, does not allow people to feel sufficiently secure about tomorrow to be able to project themselves into the medium term and serenely envisage a path to reintegration
Alternative solutions such as Toit à Moi are therefore absolutely necessary!
Solution
Toit à Moi was born in Nantes in 2007 out of the desire to help homeless people get off the streets for good, thanks to a citizen movement and the commitment of companies. At its core, a conviction: housing alone is not a satisfactory solution; support is essential.
Its action is based on three components:
- individual, dignified housing, a prerequisite for any reintegration;
- comprehensive, personalized social support to support people in their day-to-day lives, help them with their formalities and build a new life project with them;
- a network of committed volunteers to weave links and break isolation.
Recent result
In 15 years, Toit à Moi has assisted 113 people and spread its action to 13 other towns in France. 160 volunteers, 2,300 donors and 130 corporate sponsors now place their trust in it.
Already 53 apartments that's 53 households sheltered every year. 10-year goal: 1,000 apartments!

The money will be used for
Your financial support will enable us to purchase the materials needed to complete the work on 5 new apartments. It will also enable us to acquire the equipment and furniture needed to fit them out. The work and decoration will then be carried out by the association's super volunteers.
Goal
The aim is to be able to accommodate 5 new households in warm, functional apartments by June 2023. Toit à Moi owns the apartments. This will enable it to subsequently take in other homeless people (3 to 4 on average per apartment over 10 years).

Since 2007, Toit à Moi has already helped more than 100 people off the streets, purchased around 50 homes and opened 14 branches in France.

Toit à Moi has just acquired a second home in Marseille, and since October it has been home to one more person in our springboard scheme.An extra cocoon in Marseille
The Captain Cause mobilization enables us to equip, furnish and fit out our cocoon apartments. It also enables us to give a dignified and comfortable welcome to the people we help to get off the streets.
A new springboard cocoon has just been opened in Marseille, where Toit à Moi now has two units. Since October, an additional person has been supported in this second Marseille cocoon. The Toit à Moi adventure has now enabled more than 150 people to leave the streets for good, and get back on their feet towards a new life project.
Thank you for your support ❤
