Intergenerational housing:

A rich and unique living experience: the senior provides the young person with a bedroom and some shared rooms in their home.

This "living together" arrangement gives the senior a reassuring and caring presence. It allows the young person to feel socially useful and to have access to a less expensive place to live.

The scheme can also be open to international students, provided they have a good enough command of the French language to be able to communicate with the senior citizen.

Intergenerational cohabitation is based on a simple idea: exchange of courtesies, which relies on everyone's goodwill to succeed. The guest is not there to take the place of a home help or care assistant. They provide a caring, friendly presence and a passive watch, and may be asked to perform small services such as closing the shutters, sharing one or two meals a week with the senior, .....

Process: fill in the information form as accurately as possible. This will be used to identify the senior most compatible with your profile. To ensure a quality home for everyone. Binôme 21 has drawn up a list of the documents you need to provide.

You will then be interviewed by someone from the association to validate your application.

 

Flatshare offers :

To apply you must be in one of the following situations:
