UDAF 35

What UDAF 35 does

UDAF 35 (Union Départementale des Associations Familiales d'Ille-et-Vilaine) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) headquartered in Rennes that operates as the departmental node of the national Union Nationale des Associations Familiales (UNAF) network, present across 86 French departments. The organization delivers family support services across the Ille-et-Vilaine department through three statutory missions: defense and representation of families, an observatory of family conditions, and direct services to families and individuals. Its service portfolio spans early childhood support (Relais Petite Enfance, Petite enfance et Parentalités), childhood and parenting (Enfance et Parentalités, La Maison des Familles, Soutien à la parentalité numérique), family mediation (Médiation familiale), supportive shared housing for vulnerable adults (Habitat Partagé Solidaire), and institutional functions such as the Secrétariat de la Médaille de l'enfance et des familles. Funding derives from public institutional contracts and co-financing with municipal authorities, the Caisse d'Allocations Familiales, Action Logement, and other public partners.

The business model is a publicly funded managed-services non-profit: services are delivered free or at subsidized rates to eligible families and individuals, with no disclosed pricing. Go-to-market relies on direct service at the Rennes headquarters, partner permanence locations across the department, a website (udaf35.fr), a newsletter (Udaf Express), a Facebook presence under La Maison des Familles, webinars/visioconférences, press engagement, and active recruitment. The organization reports 19 employees and shows two recent service retrenchments: Microcrédit Udaf ended January 1, 2025 after Caisse des Dépôts funding withdrawal, and the Accès aux Droits service closed December 31, 2025. Core technology is not disclosed, and there are no AI capabilities, APIs, or proprietary software products in evidence.

Core offering

UDAF 35 is a non-profit departmental family association delivering a portfolio of family support services across the Ille-et-Vilaine department in Brittany, France. Its services span three core missions: family defense and representation, family observatory research, and direct services to families and individuals including early childhood support, parenting assistance, family mediation, budget counseling, and supportive shared housing for vulnerable adults.

Product overview

UDAF 35 (Union départementale des associations familiales d'Ille-et-Vilaine) is a non-profit family services organization operating as a single-service entity rather than a platform architecture. The organization offers a comprehensive portfolio of family support services organized into several key areas: (1) Early Childhood and Parenting (Petite enfance et Parentalités, Relais Petite Enfance) providing childcare information and support; (2) Childhood and Parenting (Enfance et Parentalités) including La Maison des Familles as a central resource center; (3) Family Mediation (Médiation familiale); (4) Budget Support (Accompagnement budgétaire) for financial guidance; (5) Shared Supportive Housing (Habitat Partagé Solidaire); and (6) Institutional Services including the Medal of Childhood and Families administration. Some services have been discontinued (Accompagnement budgétaire closed December 31, 2025; Microcrédit ended January 1, 2025).

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Secours Catholique (Caritas France): National Catholic non-profit delivering social support, budget accompaniment, and family aid to people in precarious situations. Overlaps with UDAF 35's budget support, housing support, and vulnerable-family services.
• Apprentis d'Auteuil: National non-profit providing family and child welfare, parenting support, and social accompaniment services. Comparable mission around vulnerable families and children, with significantly broader geographic coverage.
• Croix-Rouge française: Large French humanitarian organization delivering family support, social accompaniment, and vulnerable-adult services nationwide. Operates at much greater scale and breadth than UDAF 35 but addresses overlapping needs.
• Caisse d'Allocations Familiales d'Ille-et-Vilaine (CAF 35): National public family-benefit fund operating locally as a strategic partner of UDAF 35 on the Relais Petite Enfance service. CAF funds family allowances and complementary support programs across the same territory and beneficiary base.
• ADMR (Aide à Domicile en Milieu Rural): National non-profit federation providing home-support services to families and vulnerable individuals across France. Overlaps with UDAF 35's vulnerable-adult accompaniment and family support offerings.

Others

• UNAF (Union Nationale des Associations Familiales): National federation that is both UDAF 35's parent organization and a sector-wide policy actor. Not a direct operational peer but the institutional umbrella under which UDAF 35 operates and which sets the strategic framework for departmental associations.

Direct peers

• UDAF 69 (Union Départementale des Associations Familiales du Rhône): Rhône-department UNAF association delivering the same family policy representation and direct services (mediation, budget support, parental support). Same legal and operational framework as UDAF 35.
• UDAF 59 (Union Départementale des Associations Familiales du Nord): Departmental UNAF member serving Nord, providing the same range of family representation, parenting support, and family mediation services under the national network. Highly comparable mission, scale, and service mix.
• UDAF 75 (Union Départementale des Associations Familiales de Paris): Parisian departmental counterpart within the same UNAF network, offering the identical suite of family support, mediation, budget counseling, and vulnerable-adult services under the same institutional framework. The closest possible functional peer.

Regional players

• CCAS de Rennes (Centre Communal d'Action Sociale): Municipal social-action center serving Rennes residents with family support, vulnerable-adult assistance, and budget guidance — services that directly overlap UDAF 35's portfolio within the same geographic catchment.
