ACM Habitat is the public housing office of Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole, a public industrial and commercial establishment attached to the metropolitan authority. 25 Based in Montpellier, France, it is described by its website and the city as Occitanie’s largest public social landlord, managing more than 21,000 homes with a workforce of 320. 38
The organisation traces its origins to a low-cost housing office established in 1921. It became a municipal HLM office, was converted into an OPAC (public development and construction office) in 1976, and adopted the OPH (public housing office) status in 2007; it has been attached to Montpellier’s metropolitan authority since 2004. 35 Its current remit includes managing and developing housing, rehabilitating homes, and supporting residents. Its offer includes social housing, home ownership, student accommodation, commercial premises, garages and parking. 458
ACM Habitat’s work is centred on Montpellier and the metropolitan area, while its housing portfolio and public-landlord role give it a wider regional presence across Occitanie. 38 The organisation also provides services to tenants, co-owners and businesses, including online administrative and technical-request facilities and access to procurement information. 8 Its current president is Michel Calvo and its director general is Alain Braun. 2
The organisation’s registered office is listed at 407 Avenue du Professeur Étienne Antonelli in Montpellier. A 2022 announcement said that ACM Habitat’s headquarters was planned to move to the Mosson district from 2026; the search results do not confirm whether that relocation has taken place. 611
