Un Chez Soi d'Abord Clermont

What Un Chez Soi d'Abord Clermont does

Un Chez Soi d'Abord Clermont Métropole is a French medico-social cooperative (GCSMS — Groupement de Coopération Médico-Social) headquartered in Clermont-Ferrand that implements the national "Un Chez Soi D'abord" program locally. The organization delivers therapeutic coordination apartments (ACT) to homeless individuals suffering from severe psychotic psychiatric conditions, providing immediate access to stable housing chosen by the beneficiary without preconditions of sobriety or medical compliance. The service combines housing placement through subletting, sliding leases (baux glissants), or direct leases with intensive, recovery-oriented multidisciplinary accompaniment across healthcare, social rights, leisure, and employment domains. Approximately 12.3 full-time equivalents staff the program, including a director, psychiatrist, coordination manager, peer health mediators, nurse, psychotherapist, specialized educators, social worker, adapted housing manager, accounting secretary, and logistics technician.

The offering is delivered through a pooled-competency model that brings together three institutional partners: Cecler (housing expertise), CHU Clermont-Ferrand (addictology), and Hôpital Sainte Marie (psychiatry). Eighty percent of housing units are secured in the private rental sector through rental intermediation (intermédiation locative). Admission is referral-based via a dedicated commission that reviews complete dossiers during designated submission periods, with committed timelines of contacting admitted persons within 8 days and proposing at least two housing options within 8 weeks.

The business model is entirely publicly funded. The organization receives no direct payment from beneficiaries and is financed by the French Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Housing, the DIAHL (Délégation Interministérielle à l'Hébergement et à l'Accès au Logement), and the ARS Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The go-to-market is effectively a regulatory designation rather than a commercial sales motion: the entity is a designated local implementation of a national program launched in 2011, with no pricing, no customer pipeline, and no commercial revenue stream. Documented outcomes include over 85% of beneficiaries remaining housed after five years, and a lower annual cost per beneficiary compared to standard fragmented care pathways.

Core offering

The service is delivered free of charge to beneficiaries and combines stable housing with access to care, rights, and social reintegration support, operating as a medico-social cooperation group (GCSMS).

Product overview

Un Chez Soi D'abord Clermont Métropole is a single core offering: a therapeutic coordination apartment (ACT) program for homeless adults with severe psychotic psychiatric conditions. It is not a technology product but a medico-social housing and accompaniment service. The organization is structured as a GCSMS (Groupement de Coopération Médico-Social) that pools competencies across three partner structures — Cecler (housing), CHU (addictology), and Hôpital Sainte Marie (psychiatry) — to deliver a unified accompaniment service.
