What CEIS Genova - Fondazione Centro di Solidarietà Bianca Costa Bozzo Onlus does

CEIS Genova - Fondazione Centro di Solidarietà Bianca Costa Bozzo Onlus is a nonprofit social and healthcare organization headquartered in Genoa, Italy, founded in 1976 and operating across the Liguria region. It delivers a portfolio of community-based therapeutic, reception, inclusion, prevention, and home-care services targeted at individuals with addiction and dependency disorders, dual-diagnosis patients, fragile populations, and their families. The core operational footprint consists of six named residential therapeutic communities (Trasta, Castore e Polluce, Il Timone, La Tartaruga, Finestra sul Porto, and Pronta Accoglienza), supplemented by territorial outreach programs including the Maggiordomo di Quartiere free neighborhood assistance service active in Loano, Albenga, and Pietra Ligure.

The organization is structured as a federation of six wholly-owned legal entities under a shared mission umbrella: the Fondazione Centro di Solidarietà Bianca Costa Bozzo ONLUS (foundation), Centro di Solidarietà di Genova Coop. Sociale ONLUS (operating cooperative), Associazione Centro di Solidarietà di Genova ONLUS (association), Multiservice coop. Soc. ONLUS (shared-services cooperative), Ceis Genova Sport (amateur sports entity), and Il Boschetto di Campi (social agriculture cooperative). Adjacent activities include publishing the quarterly magazines L'Abbraccio (since 1994) and Le Foglie di Trasta, and running Servizio Civile Universale (national civil service) volunteer programs. Operations are ISO 9001 certified by RINA, and the organization hosted the WFTC 2026 international symposium in Genoa, which produced the Carta di Genova 2026 manifesto.

The revenue model is managed-services oriented: funding flows through social and healthcare service contracts with regional and municipal authorities, with ASL3 Genova coordinating access to residential therapeutic community capacity via waiting lists. Service pricing is not publicly disclosed; cost-accounting documentation is published for transparency, and annual social reports (Bilancio Sociale) are released for 2022, 2023, and 2024. GTM motion is community-led, driven by referrals from public health and social-service channels. The organization employs 69 staff and operates no proprietary technology platform beyond standard social-services delivery infrastructure.
