Teaming Up with the ANAH: Eric Lagandré and Franck Boutté

To mark the 50th anniversary of the Agence National de l’Habitat (France’s National Housing Agency), ANAH staff talk about their careers and experience.

The ANAH is a public body under the authority of the French Ministries of Regional Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities, Ecological Transition, and the Economy, Finance, and Economic Recovery. For almost 50 years, it has pursued its key mission to improve the condition of already-built private housing in order to combat social and regional disparities. The ANAH also provides private landlords with contracts to facilitate the provision of renovated rental stock at affordable rents. The ANAH is the partner of choice of local authorities, helping them to integrate the private housing sector into their local housing policies. The agency supports organizations that own or manage emergency shelters, to facilitate their renovation and conversion. In addition, the ANAH is actively involved in a process of transformation and modernization to improve its own efficiency and performance: an online service, new processes harnessing digital developments, the fostering and coordination of new partnerships to expand its scope of action.

Discover a passionate and fascinating discussion about energy challenges in the 1990s at the ANAH between Éric Lagandré, head of ANAH’s Observation, Studies, and Evaluation department, and Franck Boutté, who worked with the ANAH to conduct studies as well as design and implement intervention programs in his capacity as an energy and environment expert.

Franck and Éric talk about their professional and emotional engagement and their work with the ANAH.
