To respond to the concrete needs of the people welcomed, Consulta has created various other entities: Ancoraggio; Ragazzi Resilienti (an association of adults who help themselves in support paths after us); Cooperativa agricola Pane e Signore (Work placement in the social agricultural sector); E ‘Buono Cooperativa sociale (job placement in the trade sector); Fratello Sole scarl (consortium for the energy saving of shelters).

For 80 years, the 1,000 professionals of France Horizon have been committed in the name of national solidarity to provide the territories with new welcome, accommodation and support solutions that allow everyone – from early childhood to old age, born in France or elsewhere – to have a real chance to live their present existence with dignity and to build their future, towards social autonomy.
To achieve this goal, France Horizon operates in 4 business areas. RECEPTION AND INTEGRATION, ELDERLY, FRENCH ABROAD – REPATRIED, EARLY CHILDHOOD. These 4 centers offer accommodation and support services for different types of users: isolated people and families in social difficulty, homeless, refugees and migrants, single mothers, infants, the elderly, French citizens coming from abroad and returning to France, etc. . In collaboration with local bodies and public authorities, the commitment of the association’s 1,000 employees in 9 regions is based on 4 essential principles: HUMANITY: we recognize in the other his full and entire humanity, without distinction of origin, resources, beliefs. AUDACITY: we take the liberty to dare and invent new solidarity responses to respond, step by step and concretely, to the new needs of solidarity in a logic of social and collective progress. PROFESSIONALISM: our action is based on the commitment of multi-professional teams. This ensures in particular the control of budgets allocated by public authorities. THE SENSE OF THE COLLECTIVE: the support paths are built in collaboration with all the local, public, associative and voluntary actors in the territories where our teams operate. This collective dynamic contributes to the implementation of social integration projects (training, learning French, job search, accommodation, health, culture, etc.) and to the support of our elderly.
