An office to accommodate a person in integration

The offices are occupied only 30% of the time. At night and at weekends, they are empty. Yet they are often heated in winter and air-conditioned in summer.

On the other side, 300,000 people sleep outside in France.

What if companies could help reintegrate someone who has lost everything?

Les Bureaux du Cœur is a bridge between these two realities: the association makes sure that offices are offices during the day and, at night and weekends, a place of welcome for a person in a street situation, whom we call a "guest.e". 

The term guest is not chosen at random. The host company will welcome the person and provide a small kitchen, a shower and a bed, which could be in a meeting room, an office or even a siesta room. Each case is specific and anything is possible.

Luc, 23, was sleeping in his car while he had a job. Sabine had to leave her home because of domestic violence. Thanks to their support, they found refuge and stability in the office of a company in their town, and got back on the road to a normal life.
