Fort de France, Martinique – created in 2002
ACISE Samusocial was created in 2002 to take care of the homeless population in Martinique. The association then opened Workshops for Integration (Ateliers Chantiers d’Insertion) to promote the professional reintegration of people who are very far from employment.
SamuSocial de Martinique’s role is to “reach out” to the most desocialized people, providing them with assistance wherever they may be, and offering access to other ACISE services.
Activities:
Mobile Assistance Teams (EMA)
Day and night, Samusocial’s mobile team goes out into the street to meet the homeless to bring them comfort and food and to offer them access to other ACISE services.
Emergency shelter / Day center
Emergency accommodation is a dinner and a bed for the night in collective rooms. The system is open to all within the limits of available places, and upon referral from the 115. Every day from 7am to 9pm, the ACISE Samusocial day center allows those who wish to do so to come and wash, change clothes, have breakfast and be received by social workers and a doctor or nurse. It is a socialization space where occupational workshops and educational activities are organized.
Orientation and integration assistance
ACISE-Samusocial Martinique manages several more or less autonomous and sustainable housing structures for people seeking social reintegration: maisons relais, stabilization-integration accommodation and, since 2022, an accommodation center for the very marginalised.
