French Companies Are Inviting Homeless People to Sleep in Their Offices
In France, some companies are allowing homeless individuals to stay overnight in their offices through a program called Bureaux du Coeur, which repurposes unused office space to provide temporary shelter. The initiative, supported by over 400 companies across 40 cities, has offered shelter to more than 1,000 people and provided over 160,000 nights of accommodation since 2019. The program aims to address both homelessness and underused office space by offering safe, temporary housing while participants receive support for reintegration into employment or training. This approach highlights a collaborative effort between businesses and social organizations to tackle social challenges through innovative use of resources.
