Coopîlote ta vie

What Coopîlote ta vie does

Coopîlote ta vie is a French social services cooperative (SCIC — Société Coopérative d'Intérêt Collectif) created in 2022 by the Association Ensemble et Différents to employ the professional care team providing 24-hour home accompaniment to the three residents of the Les Amalias inclusive housing project in Forcalquier, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. The cooperative operates with approximately 6 employees organized under a shared governance model supported by Université du Nous, and serves a deliberately small cohort of three young adults with severe disabilities (Lucile, Estelle, Robin) in an inclusive colocation setting. Its core service is round-the-clock personal assistance delivered through on-site care professionals, with no disclosed technology platform beyond the cooperative organizational structure itself.

The cooperative's underlying technology is fundamentally human-service based, anchored in a multi-entity ecosystem that combines inclusive housing (Les Amalias, built by La Foncière Chênelet and inaugurated November 2021), artistic activities (Les Passeurs de silence concerts led by one resident), movement workshops (Happymouv with Marie-Hélène Dromard), and community events hosted in the habitat's public common room. It sits within the Association Ensemble et Différents (founded 2002), which provides brand identity, fundraising infrastructure, and the broader 'fragilité joyeuse' positioning. There is no proprietary software, digital platform, or data asset disclosed.

The revenue model is managed services under French social care financing frameworks: revenue is generated through service delivery contracts funded via a combination of French social security allocations, departmental APA (Allocation Personnalisée d'Autonomie) assistance, and family contributions, supplemented by public project grants. The cooperative received €87,219.70 in 2022–2024 from EU FEADER, the PACA Region, and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence Department to achieve operational autonomy. Its customer base is a single household of three residents, with no expansion to additional sites disclosed.
