Crédit Agricole de la Corse sponsors housing restoration

Crédit Agricole de la Corse signed a 10,000 euro sponsorship agreement with the association Per Campà in Pace to help restore degraded housing for new families. The agreement aims to make more homes available through renovation efforts.

Public housing offices will oversee the work

The public housing offices of Haute-Corse and Corse-du-Sud will identify the affected housing and oversee both the renovation work and the allocation of the restored units to families in need.

Renovation scope depends on costs

Octavia Santoni, director of human resources, finance, and risk at Crédit Agricole de la Corse, noted that the funding could renovate nearly two apartments, depending on the actual cost of the work involved.

Sponsorship chosen by bank employees

The project was selected by a committee of bank employees as part of the regional branch’s commitment to supporting the local community. The bank had previously helped renovate three homes in Ajaccio several years ago.

First major corporate donation for the cause

Dr. François Pernin, president of the association for coordination of the fight against exclusion, called this the first major corporate donation for the cause, adding that other forms of support, such as concerts and private donations, had already been received.

Solidarity emphasized over financial calculation

Cardinal François Bustillo, who leads Per Campà in Pace, stressed that the initiative is about giving and fraternity, not business or calculation. He urged continued action to ensure more housing can be restored for social rental use.

Mobilizing support for vulnerable people

Bustillo emphasized the importance of mobilizing different groups to help the most vulnerable, stating that the duty is to inspire generosity and goodwill. He said true solidarity requires action, not just words.
