What France Horizon does

France Horizon is a French non-profit association déclarée under the law of 1901, founded in 1940 and headquartered at 5 place du Colonel Fabien in Paris (75010). It delivers accommodation, medico-social, and educational services across five pillars: social inclusion (emergency accommodation, housing, and employment reintegration for families, single mothers, and homeless individuals), seniors care (nine EHPADs and an autonomie residence, fully habilitated to aide sociale), early childhood (crèches multi-accueil partnered with municipalities and CAF), asylum and refugee integration (reception, orientation, housing, and integration support), and repatriation of French nationals in precarious situations abroad (in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

The association operates 232 establishments and devices across nine French regions (Île-de-France, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Grand-Est, Hauts-de-France, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Occitanie, Pays-de-la-Loire), employing approximately 1,500 professionals and serving 38,114 beneficiaries per year. Day-rates for senior care are publicly disclosed (e.g., €73.00/day at EHPAD La Tour; €70.32/day at EHPAD Les 7 Fontaines), with reduced rates where departmental aide sociale applies.

The business model is publicly financed rather than commercially priced: revenues are sourced from French State ministries, the European Union, local authorities (collectivités locales), and CAF (Caisse d'Allocations Familiales) under social assistance agreements and public service mandates. Services reach beneficiaries through institutional referral channels — the 115 emergency hotline, social services, municipal services, OFII, and international protection systems — rather than consumer-facing marketing. The technology layer is administrative/digital (internal platform, public website, establishment finder) rather than product-led.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Habitat & Humanisme: French non-profit focused on housing access and social integration for vulnerable and refugee populations. Comparable to France Horizon's inclusion sociale and asylum/integration segments, with overlapping beneficiary base and similar financing mix, though smaller in EHPAD/childcare breadth.
• Fondation Abbé Pierre: Major French foundation combating poor housing and homelessness through advocacy and operational programs. Comparable to France Horizon's social inclusion / emergency housing segment and similar government funding relationships, though primarily advocacy-led with smaller direct service footprint.

Direct peers

• Fondation de l'Armée du Salut: Salvation Army foundation in France operates social inclusion shelters, CHRS, EHPADs, and refugee reception programs. Comparable as a faith-rooted non-profit running multi-segment social services for vulnerable populations across a national network.
• ADOMA (CDC Habitat Social): French social housing operator (subsidiary of CDC Habitat) managing refugee reception centers (CADA, HUDA) and social housing for vulnerable populations nationwide. Closely comparable to France Horizon's asylum/integration segment with state-mandated refugee housing at scale.
• Croix-Rouge française: French Red Cross operates emergency shelter, social inclusion, asylum seeker reception, and medico-social establishments across France. Comparable to France Horizon as a multi-segment non-profit social services platform with government partnerships and similar beneficiary profiles.
• Emmaüs France: Major French non-profit federation operating social inclusion, housing, and integration services for vulnerable populations. Directly comparable to France Horizon's social inclusion and refugee integration activities, with similar reliance on public financing and a federated establishment model across France.
• Coallia: French association (recognized public utility) operating CHRS shelters, asylum/reception facilities, elderly housing, and social inclusion services. Closely comparable to France Horizon in scope, establishment network, and reliance on state/EU financing for vulnerable-population services.

Broad incumbents

• Korian (Clariane): Europe's largest listed operator of EHPAD nursing homes, clinics, and senior care services. Comparable to France Horizon's EHPAD segment as a senior-care operator in France, but operates as a for-profit scaled incumbent with broader European footprint and capital-market access.
• DomusVi: Major French operator of EHPADs, senior residences, and home care services for elderly populations. Comparable to France Horizon's EHPAD and Résidence autonomie activities as a senior-care specialist, but operates as a large for-profit with broader commercial positioning.
• ORPEA: Major French-headquartered operator of EHPAD nursing homes and senior care facilities across Europe. Comparable to France Horizon's EHPAD service line as a large-scale senior care provider, but operates as a for-profit multinational with materially greater capital and geographic reach.
