  • Coloc 76, a program managed and run by the Département de la Seine-Maritime, in partnership with the Association de la Fondation Étudiante pour la Ville (AFEV).

It offers support to young people in the Seine-Maritime region who are looking for a place to live, but also want to get involved in an educational and solidarity-based approach. To benefit from the scheme, the young person must carry out a few hours of voluntary work to energize life in the neighborhood (for example: mentoring, maintaining a solidarity vegetable garden, collecting clothes, cooking workshops, board games, organizing social events, etc.).
