Maison de l'habitat du Doubs - ADIL - CAUE

What Maison de l'habitat du Doubs - ADIL - CAUE does

Maison de l'habitat du Doubs – ADIL – CAUE is a French Groupement d'Intérêt Public (GIP) headquartered at 1 Chemin de Ronde du Fort Griffon, Besançon, that consolidates the ADIL du Doubs (Agence Départementale d'Information sur le Logement) and the CAUE du Doubs (Conseil d'Architecture, d'Urbanisme et de l'Environnement) under a single public-service brand. It operates a free, neutral 'tiers de confiance' advisory service for the entire Doubs department, covering housing purchase, construction, renovation, rental law, energy renovation, architecture, urban planning, landscape design, and a local housing observatory (Observatoire de l'Habitat) that publishes annual rent surveys and vacancy-rate data. The organization is a member of the national France Rénov' network, an official co-animator of the PDALHPD (Plan Départemental d'Action pour le Logement des Personnes Défavorisées), and runs an educational, workshops, and traveling-exhibitions program that reaches 16 regional high schools/CFAs/EREAs.

Its service portfolio comprises six integrated product lines: (1) energy renovation advisory (as an Espace Conseil France Rénov'); (2) legal, financial, and tax information; (3) architecture, urbanism, and landscape counseling; (4) the Observatoire de l'Habitat; (5) PDALHPD animation and coordination; and (6) educational workshops, training sessions, and a loanable traveling-exhibition catalogue (including themes such as green roofs, radon risk, photovoltaic panels, urban soils, Le Corbusier, and Comtois farmhouse heritage). Distribution is hybrid: in-person consultations at the Besançon HQ, decentralized permanence locations across multiple communes, phone support at 03 81 68 37 68, online booking via maisonhabitatdoubs.rdv.date, and a documentation/resource portal. The technology stack is conventional public-sector web infrastructure — OVH hosting, WordPress-style CMS, Google Analytics, Tarte aux citrons consent management, and reference to ADEME's Simul'Aides rules-based aid simulation tool — with no proprietary software product and no AI/ML components.

The business model is institutional rather than commercial. All advisory services are provided free of charge to individuals (Particuliers), local authorities (Collectivités), education professionals (Professionnels de l'éducation), and professionals (Propriétaires occupants, Propriétaires bailleurs, Copropriétaires). Revenue takes the form of public funding from the Département du Doubs, ANAH (Agence Nationale de l'Habitat), ADEME, DRAC Bourgogne Franche-Comté, and partner intercommunalities (Grand Besançon Métropole, Pays de Montbéliard Agglomération, Loue-Lison, Communauté de communes du Pays de Maîche). The legal structure (GIP, SIRET 130 024 052 00016, APE 8412Z) confirms a public-purpose administrative entity with approximately 11 employees and no equity ownership, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no commercial revenue streams.

Core offering

The Maison de l'habitat du Doubs is a unified public service (GIP) that provides free, neutral advisory services covering the full housing lifecycle in the Doubs department. Its core offering spans six expertise areas: energy renovation counseling (as a France Rénov' Espace Conseil), legal/financial/tax information on housing rights, architecture-urbanism-landscape guidance, an annual Observatoire de l'Habitat producing local real estate market data, coordination of the PDALHPD departmental housing plan, and educational workshops plus a traveling exhibition loan program.

Product overview

The Maison de l'habitat du Doubs is a unified public service hub (GIP - Groupement d'Intérêt public) bringing together two specialized associations: the ADIL du Doubs and the CAUE du Doubs. The organization operates as a single point of contact for all housing-related public services in the Doubs department, offering free, neutral advice across six integrated service areas. These include energy renovation advice (as part of the France Rénov' network), legal/financial/tax information, architecture/urbanism/landscape counseling, a local housing observatory, PDALHPD coordination, and educational workshops/training programs. The CAUE component also manages a traveling exhibition loan program (prêt d'expositions) covering themes such as green roofs, photovoltaic systems, radon risk, heritage, urban soil quality, and Le Corbusier. The portfolio does not constitute a software product but rather a public advisory and educational service delivered in-person, via appointments, and through its website and resources portal.
