The European Union, through the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER), supports projects aimed at strengthening economic and social cohesion. Habitat du Gard is a beneficiary of this fund for several of its renovation and energy efficiency improvement operations. In total, 352 homes and as many Gard families will benefit from this €1.87 million grant, contributing to improving their quality of life, reducing their energy expenses, and lowering CO2 emissions.
Habitat du Gard has welcomed this European policy and thanked the Occitanie Region for its technical support. Several residences are included in this funding:
The Sabatot 1 residence in Saint-Gilles: 74 homes built in 1965 were renovated in 2024 to achieve the "BBC rénovation" (low-energy building) standard. Works included insulation, facades, roofing, common areas, and interiors. The FEDER grant amounts to €370,000.
