AFTC Alsace

What AFTC Alsace does

AFTC Alsace (Association des Familles des Traumatisés Crâniens et Cérébrolésés d'Alsace) is a French non-profit association under Alsace-Moselle local law, founded in 1991 and headquartered at 10d Avenue Achille Baumann, Illkirch-Graffenstaden (SIRET 420 942 294 00067). It serves persons aged 18 and above with acquired brain lesions — traumatic brain injury, stroke, anoxia and similar conditions — together with their families, across the Bas-Rhin and northern Alsace territory. The organisation operates a coordinated medico-social platform comprising four core structures: the Accueil de Jour (day stimulation centre for beneficiaries 18–59), the SAMSAH (open-environment medical-paramedical-social accompaniment for persons 18–60 in the Strasbourg Euro-Métropole), and two Groupes d'Entraide Mutuelle (GEM Ludica in Illkirch and GEM Lucida in Haguenau) functioning as socialisation and mutual-aid venues.

The core "product" is therefore a continuum of services rather than a software platform. The technical infrastructure is modest: a WordPress-based public website (aftc.alsace) hosted by OVH and built by Strasbourg digital agency Elémentaire, combined with Stripe-hosted payment links for donations, memberships and magazine subscriptions. The association's principal intellectual and operational assets are its multidisciplinary human teams (coordinating physician, nurse, ergothérapeute, neuropsychologue, CESF, éducatrice spécialisée, aides-soignantes, Chef de Service) and its co-developed supported-housing portfolio — the Habitat Accompagné et Inclusif (HAI) umbrella bundling six graduated formulas (Le Tremplin, L'Orée du Bois, Maison Familiale, Maison des Pêcheurs, Maison des Couleurs, K'Hutte) accommodating approximately 30 residents, delivered jointly with social landlords Habitat de l'Ill and Familles Solidaires, and healthcare operator UGECAM. The SLCL association (created March 2014) handles lease drafting, rent collection and logistics for the HAI scheme.

Revenue is overwhelmingly public: ARS Grand Est and the Collectivité Européenne d'Alsace (CEA) finance the medico-social structures via individual funding dossiers. Supplementary revenue is small and diversified across AFTC Alsace memberships (46 €/year), GEM memberships (51 €/year for AAH recipients, 306 €/year otherwise), Résurgences magazine subscriptions (20 €/semester) and free-amount donations processed by Stripe. The association is a member of UNAFTC, the national federation, and operates a Conseil de la Vie Sociale governance body. Leadership comprises President Pascal GERZAGUET, Director Thérèse LODEL and Chef de Service Théo PRUNEAU.

Product overview

Its core platform is the trio Accueil de Jour (day stimulation center), SAMSAH (open-environment medical-social accompaniment) and the two GEMs (Haguenau and Illkirch — mutual-aid socialisation groups). These are operationally extended by the Habitat Accompagné et Inclusif (HAI) umbrella, which bundles six supported-housing devices (K'Hutte, L'Orée du Bois, Maison familiale, Maison des Pêcheurs, Maison des Couleurs, Le Tremplin) plus the SLCL rental-intermediation association.

Direct peers

• AFTC Lorraine: Sister association created from the territorial split of AFTC Alsace in 2007. Delivers an essentially identical continuum of Accueil de Jour, SAMSAH, GEM, and supported-housing services for brain-injured persons in the Lorraine region — the closest direct operational peer.
• UNAFTC (Union Nationale des Associations de Familles de Traumatisés Crâniens et Cérébolésés): National federation of which AFTC Alsace is a member. Other UNAFTC member associations deliver comparable medico-social and family-support services for brain-injured persons across France, making them the most direct peer set.

Regional players

• ADAPEI du Bas-Rhin: Regional federation of associations serving intellectually disabled persons in Bas-Rhin. Comparable as a regional medico-social operator with ESMS-accredited structures financed by ARS, but serves a different disability population than AFTC Alsace.
• Mutualité Française Alsace: Regional mutual health network operating medico-social and home-care services in Alsace. Comparable as a regional non-profit health/social services operator, but with broader scope and lacking AFTC's brain-injury specialization.

Emerging players

• France Traumatisme Crânien: National reference resource on TBI in France, providing information and resources to families and professionals. Highly comparable to AFTC Alsace's family-support and resource-coordination mission, though operating at the national level rather than as a regional medico-social operator.
• Association Nouveau Regard: Specialized association supporting brain-injured adults in France through residential and day programs. Comparable in niche focus on acquired brain injury, though smaller in scale and operating in different regions.

Broad incumbents

• APF France Handicap: Major national disability association operating medico-social structures (SAMSAH, foyers, SAVS) across France with comparable ESMS/ARS financing model. Much larger scale and broader disability focus, but serves as an incumbent operating in adjacent medico-social territory.
• Groupe UGECAM: French public health operator (Assurance Maladie) running medico-social facilities including the L'Orée du Bois housing unit that AFTC Alsace supports. Comparable as a public-funder-affiliated operator of supported housing, though UGECAM is structurally a healthcare operator rather than a brain-injury specialist.
• Fondation des Amis de l'Atelier: Large French medico-social foundation running SAMSAH, foyers de vie, MAS, and supported-housing services nationally. Comparable in ESMS-financed service model and habitat inclusif focus, but does not specialize in brain injury.
• Croix-Rouge française: Large national medico-social operator running SAMSAH, GEM, Accueil de Jour, and supported-housing services across France. Comparable in service type and ESMS funding model but operates at vastly larger scale and across multiple disability populations, not specialized in brain injury.
