Aquitanis is an office public de l'habitat (OPH), or public housing office, serving Bordeaux Métropole in southwestern France. It manages social rental housing, supports affordable homeownership, and develops new projects to address local housing needs.185
The organization's mission centers on providing accessible housing solutions, including logements locatifs sociaux (social rental units) and sales of HLM (habitations à loyer modéré) properties at affordable prices. Key activities include constructing and managing residences, such as the 12-unit Les Gravelots project in Lège-Cap Ferret, transforming disused military buildings into residential ensembles in Libourne, and operating dedicated services like Liziloc for young people—covering students, precarious workers, and those in first jobs. Liziloc features a dedicated website linked to the national social housing demand portal (www.demande-logement-social.gouv.fr) for applications and aid information.368 Aquitanis also offers tenant portals (aquitaniservices.fr), an online agency for administrative tasks, and a helpline (05 56 00 50 50) for inquiries, with 24/7 emergency support.2107
Its efforts align closely with affordable housing through social rentals, youth-focused units, and HLM sales, while emphasizing sustainability via a comprehensive RSE (corporate social responsibility) strategy addressing economic, social, and environmental performance.9 Operations focus on the Bordeaux metropolitan area and nearby communes in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, with no evidence of broader scope. Specific founding details are unavailable from sources, though activities trace back to at least 1970.3
