Since 2005 in Brussels, and 2019 in Liège, we have been contributing to this by providing sustainable housing for the most vulnerable homeless people in terms of health.

Social housing as the gateway to ending homelessness: highlights from the International Social Housing Festival in Dublin

At the International Social Housing Festival in Dublin (2025), one message was clear: if we want to end homelessness, we must invest massively in social housing. Experiences from across Europe show that without sufficient public housing, Housing First cannot deliver on its promise.
