Adapei de l'Essonne

What Adapei de l'Essonne does

Adapei de l'Essonne (Adapei 91) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 1969 and headquartered in Les Ulis, operating within the Essonne department of the Île-de-France region. The association provides residential care, day care, social life support (SAVS), medico-social accompaniment (SAMSAH), leisure services, and family/respite support for people with intellectual disabilities — including those with Down syndrome, autism, Fragile X syndrome, psychiatric disorders, and orphan diseases — and their families. It is affiliated with the national Unapei federation and the regional Unapei Île-de-France movement, which together represent approximately 900,000 people concerned by mental disability in France.

The association operates four core establishments — Résidence Soleil (Chilly-Mazarin / Massy), Maison Valentine (Bouray-sur-Juine), Maison de Vaubrun (Les Ulis), and Foyer Vignes et Tilleuls (Saulx-les-Chartreux / Gometz-le-Châtel) — delivering internat (residential), foyer de vie, FAM, and accueil de jour services. Beyond direct care, Adapei 91 has developed two distinctive service lines: the S3A accessibility certification program (deployed since 2015, with RATP RER Line B becoming the first fully S3A-certified line in 2017) and the RAISONNE volunteer solidarity network (co-operated with ADPEP 91) supporting caregivers, elderly, and isolated persons. The organization also operates an ethics committee (COMETH), cultural programming (Ciné-Soleil, Accueil Loisirs), and an online Boutique Solidaire selling branded merchandise.

Revenue mechanics rely primarily on public funding through French medico-social schemes (ARS Île-de-France and Conseil Départemental de l'Essonne authorizations), supplemented by donations, legacies, endowment funds (Fonds de Dotation), memberships, corporate sponsorship (mécénat), and merchandise sales. Pricing for boutique items ranges from EUR 3 (magnets) to EUR 20 (stainless steel bottles). The association is governed by a volunteer-elected board of directors with day-to-day management led by Directrice Générale Corinne Lefeuvre and a small headquarters team covering finance, HR, quality, and communications. Distribution is direct through owned facilities across the Essonne department; there are no named third-party customer logos in the disclosed data.
