We supported and funded several initiatives feasts of residents who are also opportunities for social mixing.
The house was made functional, welcoming and well maintained.
In 2006 two trips were organized and Buthiers WOOD KING who met between 40 and 50 people, and a trip to the sea These initiatives are a growing success and the weather we were never discouraged.

Admissions: Our system is well established
• We're in contact with the three constituencies of social work in the municipalities of Meudon, Issy Clamart and to handle requests
• We have established a clear contract to stay at the residence social, rule of hospitality in line with our values, clear limits to be observed and the distribution of tasks, set up a commission of admission.
• Each resident has a referent that accompanies its inclusion objectives .
Access to housing : a very serious situation globally and permanently blocked
access to public housing residents has become almost impossible since the devolution of quota to prefectural town halls, a choice that been done in our department. The number of residential care in a social structure in accessing social housing usually has been halved in two years to be about twenty in 2006 for all structures of the department. The compromise between the Prefect and the elected puts the SPEs in a stalemate.
serious consequences for people in trouble:
We met in our living environment a mother with a teenager in a room so small she could stretch her legs to sleep,
a family of five children living at the hotel two years and pay 2300 € for a one bedroom without LPA.
We host two families who were before their admission to the social emergency one with two small children and had to change hotels every three days
The other coming out of motherhood with two children unsolved
We also host a physician in training who has spent three weeks in CASH Nanterre, in a room with three bunk beds and it happened that the neighbor above you piss on during the night or fully naked women slept in the hallway.
We just got a candidate, who lost her apartment after a divorce and sleeping for three months in a public park in Nanterre, while he has a permanent contract as a night watchman
We seek to other access solutions to housing:
We are committed in the "collective 92" which includes the accommodation facilities of the Hauts de Seine, but is still not accepted institutions and meeting real obstacles
We set out to get closer to the owners, but they too are in high demand:
1. Freha, in the wake of Emmaus France, 98 Boulevard Victor Hugo Clichy, who is also our landlord, led by Antoine Pattier
2. Habitat supportive, cooperative society of collective interest, 20 rue Clovis Hugues Paris 19 °, directed by François Taconnet
In total we had two housing in 2005, one in 2007 and we hope to get one in 2008
Second Objective: Aid and approaches to defending the rights of migrants
· Through our special relationship with Eugenie and sustainable, a lawyer who works with the Emmaus association in Paris, many people could receive assistance, legal advice and moral support in their efforts. Here it is again infinitely thanked here. The tightening of immigration laws, however, makes it increasingly difficult this type of intervention.
Objective Three: Support to African culture and its transmission to children of the second generation.
The link parenthood is an absolute for the construction of identity of adolescents. This one is attacked by the devaluation of the parental image is observed among some teens migrants.
esteem of parents and their origins is critical to enable them to transmit educational values, and prepare for future adult sociality
must therefore engage in a preventive way and enhance parents
• We have organized a public show of Counts African figurines made with ourselves. 80 people have worked at the festival.
· on cultural outings were held. They have met with great success. They are followed by a working with children and a dialogue with moms to help them take ownership of the process.
• We have benefited from the contribution of Odile, Anne and Tessa who have each acquired extensive knowledge on Africa.
