What Udaf du Doubs does

Udaf du Doubs (Union Départementale des Associations Familiales du Doubs) is a French non-profit association operating under the loi 1901 framework as a departmental branch of the national Unaf federation. Headquartered in Besançon with secondary offices in Montbéliard and Pontarlier, the organization serves the Doubs department through six core services: Protection Juridique des Majeurs (PJM), Information et Soutien aux Tuteurs Familiaux (ISTF), Service Délégué aux Prestations Familiales (DPF/MJAGBF), Stage de responsabilité parentale, Point Conseil Budget (PCB), and the Secrétariat de la Médaille de l'enfance et des familles. It is the legally designated representative of families in the department, holding 38 representation mandates in departmental institutions and 43 in CCAS.

The service portfolio is delivered through a direct-to-consumer model: face-to-face consultations at three physical locations, telephone helplines, home visits for judicial protection mandates, and video consultations for remote participants. Intake is supplemented by court-ordered referrals from the Tribunaux judiciaires de Besançon and Montbéliard and by partner referrals from social workers and family associations. All services are free to end users. The underlying technology footprint is light — a WordPress website (udaf25.fr) running Complianz for cookie consent, Mailpoet for email newsletters, Cerber Security, and Matomo, Microsoft Clarity, and Hotjar for analytics — with no native mobile app, no public API, and no proprietary platform components disclosed.

The revenue model is a public-funding stack anchored on CAF (Caisse d'Allocations Familiales), MSA (Mutualité Sociale Agricole), and the French State, which finance services such as MJAGBF and PJM through per-mandate tariff mechanisms. A secondary stream consists of membership fees from 81 affiliated family associations representing 7,630 member families. The organization accompanies approximately 2,040-3,889 families and individuals per year, while formally representing all 150,000 families residing in the Doubs department. Governance combines elected volunteer family representatives with professional staff, and the organization is positioned to host the national Unaf Assemblée Générale in Besançon in June 2026.
