UDAF Rhone

What UDAF Rhone does

UDAF Rhône (legally Union Départementale des Associations Familiales du Rhône et de la Métropole de Lyon, operating as UDAF 69) is a French nonprofit association constituted under the Loi 1901 on October 13, 1945, serving as the departmental federation of family associations for the Rhône department and the Métropole de Lyon. The organization delivers a comprehensive portfolio of statutory social services spanning four pillars: (1) social accompaniment (AEA, AEAPE, SCAFE, AGBF, MASP, MJPM), (2) budget support and over-indebtedness prevention (PCB, AEB, Ad'Hoc, PRP), (3) family mediation including caregiver-care recipient mediation and parental support in correctional settings, and (4) institutional advocacy and family representation across CAF, CPAM, MDPH, CCAS, and social-housing bodies. Service delivery uses a hybrid fixed-and-mobile model anchored at three physical antennas (Lyon 7e headquarters, Vaulx-en-Velin, Limas) plus the Maison de la Famille Itinérante mobile unit operating itinerant trucks across the territory.

The core technology stack is administrative rather than product-led: a WordPress-based website with Google Analytics for traffic measurement and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent management system. No proprietary platform, mobile application, or AI/ML systems are evidenced. The most material recent product launch is SCAFE (Service Commun d'Accompagnement des Familles et des Enfants), a consortium with Entraide Protestante de Lyon inaugurated January 2025 with dedicated Bron premises opened December 2025, providing 346 AEMO (Action Éducative en Milieu Ouvert) measures — 280 standard, 36 reinforced, and 30 reinforced with hosting — under PJJ habilitation.

UDAF 69's revenue model is entirely institutional: French state subsidies (notably from the Protection Judiciaire de la Jeunesse), Métropole de Lyon financing, CAF du Rhône, Département du Rhône, and other public bodies fund services delivered free of charge to beneficiaries under judicial mandates or social support programs. Membership fees from affiliated family associations provide a supplementary recurring revenue stream. The organization holds official habilitations to operate MJPM, AEMO, PCB, and mediation services, and is governed by President Jacqueline Payre (re-elected 2025) and Director General Christophe Charvet, with Anne Lesueur directing the SCAFE service.

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Croix-Rouge française: France-wide incumbent in social services, including family aid, budget support, and vulnerable-population programs. Broad incumbent because it operates overlapping services nationally rather than specializing in UDAF 69's departmental family-association niche.
• Secours Catholique – Caritas France: National social-services incumbent delivering family support, budget counseling, and poverty-prevention services. Broad incumbent because it covers overlapping beneficiary populations and services but as part of a much wider national anti-poverty mission, not a specialized departmental UDAF role.

Direct peers

• UDAF 13 (Union Départementale des Associations Familiales des Bouches-du-Rhône): Another large French departmental UDAF providing MJPM, MASP, family mediation, and budget support. Direct peer because it operates under identical French legal habilitations and serves a comparably sized metropolitan area (Marseille Métropole).
• Entraide Protestante de Lyon: SCAF E consortium partner for AEMO delivery since January 2025, jointly delivering 346 AEMO measures. Direct peer because it jointly operates the same child-protection services, shares habilitation, and competes for adjacent social-services mandates in the Lyon territory.
• UNAF (Union Nationale des Associations Familiales): National federation to which UDAF 69 belongs, coordinating national family-policy campaigns, training, and professional resources such as La Réf PJM platform. Direct peer because it operates the same departmental-network model at national level and sets the strategic agenda for all UDAFs including 69.
• Association Tutélaire Rhodanienne (ATR 69): Local Lyon-based association delivering MJPM and adult protection services — and an existing UDAF 69 partner (Financial Education Week 2026). Direct peer because it competes for the same MJPM habilitations in the Rhône territory and serves the same protected-adult beneficiary base.
• ALYS (Association Lyonnaise de Sauvegarde): Lyon-based association providing social, judicial, and family-protection services including AEMO and adult protection. Direct peer because it operates in the same territory on the same service lines (child protection, family support) under similar French state habilitations.
• UDAF 33 (Union Départementale des Associations Familiales de la Gironde): Bordeaux-based departmental family-association union. Direct peer as it provides the same portfolio of MJPM, family mediation, and budget-support services to a large metropolitan area with comparable institutional funding partners (CAF, département, métropole).
• ADSEA 69 (Association Départementale de Sauvegarde de l'Enfance et de l'Adolescence du Rhône): Major Rhône-based child-protection NGO providing AEMO and related mesures éducatives. Direct peer because it competes with SCAFE (UDAF 69's joint service) for PJJ habilitations and serves overlapping child-welfare beneficiaries in the same territory.
• UDAF 75 / URAF Île-de-France (Union Régionale des Associations Familiales d'Île-de-France): Paris/Île-de-France equivalent family-association union delivering MJPM, AGBF, mediation, and family support services. Direct peer because it performs the same departmental/regional family-association union role as UDAF 69, just in a different territory, with similar institutional mandates and funding mix.
