A thriving community at the heart of Nantes
The Diocese of Nantes owns a former schoolhouse in Nantes city centre. Centrally located and easily accessible by public transport, this property was more than ideal for our residents – people who have experienced homelessness and young professionals.
The building was falling into total disrepair, but Lazarus saw its potential and signed a long-term lease with the Diocese. In return, Lazarus completely renovated the building.
The Nantes home is now a thriving home to 30 residents and 1 support family.
We built
1 flat for 8 women
1 5-bedroom flat for the support family
1 flat for 9 men
1 flat for 6 men
1 flat for 8 women (rented to Martha and Maria)
1 common room
1 chapel
7 studios
The Lazarus head office
The building in Nantes also houses the office of Lazarus France where a dozen employees work.
