The Alpes-Maritimes, a united territory
Following the war in Ukraine, many civilians fled the fighting, violence and destruction in their regions of origin and arrived in the Alpes-Maritimes. Accommodation for displaced people quickly became an important issue in the Maralpine territory. An exceptional surge of solidarity at the level of the department has thus rapidly developed. Because in the first weeks, the displaced were mainly families who managed to leave the country by their own means, most often by car. Most were first accommodated with relatives residing in the department or stayed in hotels they had booked.
Subsequently, many citizens offered solidarity accommodation places, while the State and local authorities offered hotel places to meet the needs of displaced persons who had no accommodation solution. But if some have put their suitcases in private homes, the desire to have their own “home” has quickly become vital. Like a need to find one’s bearings and a reassuring place, in the face of homesickness and the uncertainty of the future.
Relief for Ukrainian families
Because far from their home, a void is felt. Some were only thinking of staying for a month. “We arrived in France on March 19, 2022 to flee the war. We were welcomed by friends, a Ukrainian family like us. We stayed there for four months”, testify Andrii and Hanna Kisilova. If all went well for these parents of three children, living with even close people was still not easy. Far from their native country, the need for intimacy, to meet up with family to face this very particular context, and a semblance of “normal life” is omnipresent.
Because a question comes back like a common thread: how to rebuild and move forward when you have left your country, your loved ones and your life 3,000 kilometers away? “We wanted to have our own apartment. My husband and my son were already working” says Hanna. It was during a chance meeting at the boulodrome in Nice that the family heard about associations that could help Ukrainian families who had fled the war. “We submitted our application and a few days later we were called by AGIS. It was a real relief, we were over the moon. Since August 1, we are well settled and everything is going well”. Since the start of the war in Ukraine, AGIS 06, a social real estate agency in Nice, has effectively given itself the task of relocating displaced Ukrainians.
Hire a real estate professional
With the Galice and ALC associations, the real estate agency with a social vocation coordinates an integrated reception and orientation service in order to identify the needs of families and the available accommodation. It thus rehouses only Ukrainians who have a job. The structure mobilized by creating a special Ukraine service with three dedicated employees and a Ukrainian translator to facilitate exchanges.
The real estate structure thus intervenes within the framework of rental intermediation. This process consists of the intervention of a third party between an owner and the occupants of his accommodation. The association is therefore the tenant, thus guaranteeing more security for the owner. The objective is to secure the rental relationship and to make it possible to house households in a precarious situation or with very modest incomes.
AGIS thus ensures the payment of monthly rents and charges, but also the maintenance and repair of the accommodation. For the owner, this is an optimal solution to recover the accommodation under the conditions provided for in the initial lease and the assurance of restoration before restitution if the property was deficient. AGIS can even help you finance up to 80% of the work on your home. Entrusting the management of your property to a social real estate professional thus makes it possible to eliminate the risk of non-payment and also to be able to benefit from a tax reduction. And for these Ukrainian deportees, it’s a little bit of hope before one day returning to their country.
