“In the early 2010s, Quesques elected officials noticed that retirees wanted to be able to stay in town to maintain their social ties, maintain their lifestyle and preserve their autonomy as long as possible,” explains the mayor, Paul Saint-Maxent. The solution that came out of their first thoughts was to create single-storey housing on the site to compensate for the loss of autonomy, but also at low rent and close to the city centre.
This project is taking place within the city, with the support of a simplified joint stock company (SAS) which specializes in these subjects. He is responsible for conducting the first investigations and leading the steering committee, which was established from the beginning of the work. A real estate company is also included in the round for its integration project management skills in the construction of ecological social housing. The opportunity and the feasibility studies lead to the granting of a building permit for a start-up residence in 2019. The city will make the land available through a long lease. of 99 years.
Tenants who are involved in the operation of the residence
In order to develop the social life project and its contract, “Particip’actif” workshops are organized between 2021 and 2022, as part of the customer management support mission in charge of the SAS which is as- is already involved in supporting the project. These workshops give future tenants an opportunity to get to know each other, define priorities as well as how the residence will operate and its activities. It is also an opportunity to prepare for the move. Tenants have the opportunity to review the shared social life contract every year to make it evolve, if they think that is necessary. The participation of tenants in the process of construction and operation of the residence is consistent with the spirit of the initiative, and the aim is to create a dynamic group that is favorable for the development of daily support among residents.
Residence close to services
The first sod was handed over in April 2020 and the residence was inaugurated in October 2021. There are four single-storey buildings including a two-bedroom apartment and a three-bedroom apartment. The construction called for people in union, for a total of 7,600 working hours. A small square decorates the residence and a common room hosts joint activities and local associations. A gentle access route has been created by the town to reach the town center and its weekly market. The route of traveling traders (grocer, butcher, baker, etc.) offers local amenities. If the management of Liane’s residence is ensured by a real estate group with a social calling from Pas-de-Calais, the support for residents is also aimed at the autonomy of the place, with the active participation of the city.
The elders are happy
“The creation of the Liane residence was made possible thanks to the effective partnership established between the city, the property company and the SAS who brought their skills to different stages of the project, notes the mayor of Quesques. It is a real pleasure for the municipal team to see our main tenants with the quality of the housing and the living environment at very affordable rental rates. »
