How Does Activinnov Support Compliance with French Social Housing Regulations?

Overview

Compliance with French social housing regulations is a critical operational requirement for bailleurs sociaux. Allocation transparency, eligibility verification, commission governance, and audit traceability are tightly regulated. Manual or fragmented processes increase regulatory risk, administrative burden, and exposure to audit findings.

Activinnov addresses these challenges through purpose-built SaaS solutions aligned with the French social housing legal framework.

The Challenge

Social housing organizations must comply with:

• Code de la Construction et de l’Habitation (CCH)

• Allocation priority rules (DALO, contingent reservations, etc.)

• Commission d’Attribution des Logements (CAL) governance requirements

• Transparency and traceability obligations

• Data protection regulations (GDPR)

Common operational risks include:

• Manual errors in allocation ranking

• Inconsistent documentation of commission decisions

• Lack of audit trails

• Delays in regulatory reporting

• Fragmented tenant data across systems

Failure to comply can lead to legal exposure, reputational risk, and administrative sanctions.
