Application deadline: October 30, 2026 The project A unique place in the central district of Plainpalais, La Collective is a space dedicated to gender equality issues. From its opening in 2027, La Collective will offer services and activities for women and gender minorities and will host a café-restaurant, the Filigrane library, the EsP-ace Santé Femmes*, a digital space, a daycare, cultural activities, offices for associations, and housing. Carried by the Foundation for Gender Equality, La Collective puts diversity, inclusivity, and social bonding at the heart of its project. The housing is designed to embody these values, offering a living environment that fosters encounters, exchanges, and the creation of a solidarity community. The residents will find both private, comfortable, and secure housing and shared spaces that promote discovery, living together, and involvement in the life of the place. Living in La Collective implies involvement in the community dynamics, both within the housing floors and at the scale of the building. The residents will be asked to sign the charter of living together (provisional version in annex) and to get involved alternately in a commission that brings together all the stakeholders of the place (associations, residents, library, daycare, café manager, etc.). A social coordinator will have the mission of animating the community of residents and strengthening their ties with the associations active within La Collective and the activities they offer. The apartments The left wing of the La Collective building is partially dedicated to housing, accessible from a private entrance located at 4, rue Pearl-Grobet-Secrétan.
