Association Croix-Marine dAuvergne

What Association Croix-Marine dAuvergne does

La Croix-Marine Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (formerly Association Croix-Marine d'Auvergne) is a French non-profit association governed by the loi 1901, headquartered in Clermont-Ferrand and operating across the Allier and Puy-de-Dôme departments. Its mission is to provide protection, psychological and social mutual aid, and daily-life support for persons with intellectual disabilities, mental illness, or psychological disorders, as well as individuals in social difficulty.

The association runs an integrated network of 12+ medico-social establishments and services, spanning vocational rehabilitation (ESAT), supervised housing (FO, RA), medicalized residential care (FAM, MAS), specialized elderly care (MRS), mutual-aid groups (GEM), home-based medical-social support (SAMSAH, SAVS), social accompaniment measures (MASP 03/63), family support services (SAF 03/63), penitentiary and juvenile justice services (SMPJM 03/63), and a diagnostic/assessment center (PCB Thiers). The portfolio is designed to deliver a continuum of care from evaluation through residential, vocational, and ambulatory support.

The business model is that of a French medico-social association: revenue is derived from public funding via the Assurance Maladie, the Agence Régionale de Santé Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and the Conseils Départementaux of Allier and Puy-de-Dôme, typically through multi-year CPOM (Contrat Pluriannuel d'Objectifs et de Moyens) agreements and per-act/dotations globales. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the entity is not commercially priced or positioned. The association has no disclosed parent company, no external investors, no proprietary technology stack, and no AI capabilities; its value proposition rests on licensed establishment authorizations, regional footprint, and integrated service delivery for vulnerable populations.
