What cooperativa sociale comunita' la tenda does

Cooperativa Sociale Comunità La Tenda is a nonprofit social cooperative founded in 1981 and based in Foligno, Italy. It serves people with addiction, psychiatric comorbidity, minors in vulnerable family or neuropsychiatric circumstances, young people transitioning to adulthood, people with disabilities seeking employment, and the wider youth community. Its service portfolio includes Centro Caino, Centro San Martino, a residential educational community for minors, ARCADIA, PS/PAT, Progetto Ponte, S.A.L. and employment mediation, a regional gambling-disorder helpline, Informagiovani, and two training rooms. Services operate mainly in Umbria, including Foligno, Spello, and all nine municipalities of Zona Sociale 8.

Delivery is based on a psycho-socio-educational model that uses group intervention, described as “fare con,” meaning working with rather than for the person, together with individualized projects developed by multidisciplinary teams of educators, psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers, and doctors. The model spans residential, semiresidential, territorial, and community-accompaniment pathways. The input does not describe a software platform; its core operating capability is the codified service methodology, professional supervision, training, facilities, and institutional relationships.

The primary revenue model is managed service delivery under public convenzioni with USL Umbria 2, Regione Umbria, Comuni della Zona Sociale 8, and Comune di Foligno. These bodies commission and refer users for addiction treatment, psychiatric comorbidity, minor care, youth services, disability employment, and information services. Training rooms add a direct-booking ancillary stream at 80 EUR + VAT per day for Sala TECLA, 120 EUR + VAT for Sala Eufemia, and 180 EUR + VAT for both. No public headcount, annual revenue, contract value, or facility-utilization figures are provided, limiting assessment of scale and unit economics.
