Vie et Avenir

What Vie et Avenir does

Vie et Avenir is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 1977 by parents of children with mild intellectual disabilities to create support structures for independent living. Headquartered at 6 Rue Amiral Roussin in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, the association operates four medico-social services serving approximately 220 adults with mild intellectual disabilities across Paris, primarily in the 15th and 11th arrondissements. Its service portfolio comprises SAVS Roussin (89 adults, independent living support since 1982), SAPHMA (31 pre-retirees and retirees, since 2001), SAMSAH La Maisonnée (20 supported housing units, since 2009), and SAMSAH Charonne (22 supported housing units, since 2016), complemented by the 2019 Espace Seniors resource platform and a 2020 endowment fund (Fonds de Dotation).

The association's operating model is driven by public social service conventions rather than direct fees. The primary revenue stream is a 3.2M EUR annual operating budget funded through conventions with the Direction des Solidarités (DSol) of the Department of Paris and the Agence Régionale de Santé (ARS) Île-de-France, anchored by a five-year CPOM signed in December 2025. Secondary revenue includes membership dues (55 EUR/year) and donations/bequests through the endowment fund. The association is affiliated with the Papillons blancs de Paris – APEI 75 parent network and adheres to the UNAPEI ethical charter, and it reaches beneficiaries through institutional referrals (MDPH 75, CDAPH orientation), community events, and word-of-mouth within the parents' network. The association employs 48 staff, manages 50 sublet apartments rented from Paris social housing offices, and operates under volunteer-led governance with a recently appointed director (Jérôme Vicente, February 2025) and President Jean-Christophe Vidal.

A CPOM (Contrat Pluriannuel d'Objectifs et de Moyens) was signed in December 2025, planning resources and charges for five years. Annual operating budgets are approximately 3.2 million euros.
