CPAS Braine lAlleud

What CPAS Braine lAlleud does

CPAS Braine-l'Alleud (Centre Public d'Action Sociale de Braine-l'Alleud) is a public-law social welfare institution operating under Belgian federal law (the Law of July 8, 1976 on Public Centres for Social Action) within the municipality of Braine-l'Alleud, Walloon Brabant, Belgium. It is governed by a Conseil de l'Action Sociale and operates with administrative autonomy under municipal oversight. The organisation serves all residents of Braine-l'Alleud through a portfolio of statutory social services including general social guidance, debt mediation (Médiation des dettes), housing and energy assistance (Service Logement & Énergie), socio-professional insertion, a digital-inclusion programme (Cyberman), a local reception initiative, social participation and activation (PAS), senior outreach (Seniors contact), and a meals-on-wheels service (Repas sur roues). It also operates Le Vignoble, a community vineyard project delivering therapeutic and social-bonding activities.

The organisation's digital infrastructure is built on IMIO, a Belgian open-source platform developed for public administrations and distributed under a Free Software Foundation licence. Citizen access is delivered through a telephone appointment line (02 854 00 00), in-person departmental consultations, and a digital citizen portal called Mon BL'A (e-guichet) that allows residents to manage interactions online. Services are provided free of charge to eligible residents, consistent with the universal-access mandate of Belgian CPAS institutions.

Revenue is not generated from commercial sales. The operating budget is funded primarily through municipal budget allocations from the Braine-l'Alleud commune, supplemented by Belgian federal and Walloon regional subsidies, with governance exercised through the Social Action Council. The organisation employs 92 staff across its service departments, and it competes only in the sense of fulfilling a statutory monopoly on certain forms of municipal social assistance — no private operator can legally replicate its core mandate within the municipality.
