The Voisenon site, called Center du Jard, is one of three that APF France handicap occupies in the department, with those of Combs-la-Ville and Meaux (Seine-et-Marne). It accommodates 80 young people with disabilities aged 11 to 25 as well as an annex to the Léonard-de-Vinci vocational high school in Melun (Seine-et-Marne), where some adolescents attend school.
90 people work at the center, including two employees affected by the workforce reductions.
