The project
PovertyInclusion
Toit à Moi is dedicated to helping homeless people get off the streets for good. At its core is the conviction that housing alone is not a satisfactory solution, and that support is essential.

Solution
Toit à Moi was founded in Nantes in 2007 with the goal of helping homeless people find a lasting way off the streets through a community-driven movement and corporate involvement. Toit à Moi’s initiative, called “Logement Tremplin,” is based on three inseparable components:
individual, dignified housing as a prerequisite for any reintegration;comprehensive, personalized social support to assist people in their daily lives, help them with administrative procedures, and work with them to build a new life plan;a network of dedicated volunteers to forge connections and break the cycle of isolation.
Toit à Moi’s initiative has two main objectives:
To provide shelter in dignified conditions with no time limit. Housing serves as a springboard, providing security to better move forward. To enable people to rebuild their lives: helping them develop a meaningful life plan and guiding them toward self-sufficiency (sustainable housing, coordinated healthcare, administrative support, reintegration through work, social connections, well-being, leisure activities, etc.).
Toit à Moi welcomes everyone regardless of nationality—men or women, adults living alone or accompanied by their children. This may include people in emergency housing (social hotels, shelters, etc.) as well as those who have exhausted their benefits and are staying in social housing such as a CHRS (center for housing and social reintegration)…

Why we love it?
Toit à Moi complements existing solutions that are unfortunately insufficient to provide a satisfactory response to all homeless people: as long as people continue to sleep rough, initiatives such as Toit à Moi will remain indispensable!
"Someone reached out to me and I was able to bounce back, find emotional stability, financial stability, feel good about my son."
