ABOUT US

Since 2008, the Société de développement social has been acting as a mediator between the business world and the community. We bring them together around projects to fight against homelessness and social exclusion. Thanks to this collaborative work, people in precarious situations are supported in their journey, businesses become socially involved and community organizations shine.

OUR MISSION

SDS actively works to find solutions to homelessness and social exclusion by building bridges and creating innovative projects that engage the business community.

People experiencing homelessness and/or extreme precariousness, community organizations, businesses and institutions are at the heart of our action.

OUR VISION

To be recognized as an important player in the evolution of perceptions related to homelessness and precariousness. To promote social investment by the business world and institutions and to be an essential partner for community organizations.

OUR VALUES

In our work, we adopt a humanistic approach. Indeed, we believe that every human being is capable of making choices in accordance with his values and in respect of his rhythm.

This approach is thus found in all of the SDS values:

• RESPECT: The people we accompany are exposed to many judgments. We make sure to respect their identity at all times, as well as their issues and those of our partners.

• COLLABORATION: The realization of our mission relies on our collaboration with all of our partners (business, institutional and community) and our clients. This value is the foundation of our organization.

• INCLUSION: Taking into account the realities of our clientele and our partners is at the heart of our mission.

• AGILITY: We have the ability to adapt to each situation and to reinvent ourselves according to the needs of our clientele.
