Constellations ASBL – Inclusive Care Homes for People with Disabilities in Belgium

For over 20 years, Constellations ASBL has been financing and building day and night care homes across Belgium.

Our mission: to create new inclusive accommodation places and respond to the urgent need for inclusion and family support.

Between 2008 and 2028, Constellations will have created 19 homes, representing 574 care places:

• 244 already open

• 330 currently in development

These initiatives, carried out independently or in partnership with other associations, represent nearly 25% of all existing places in the Brussels-Capital Region.

2006 – 2013: first homes (Les Bolets, Artémia, Orféa).

Because waiting lists remained far too long, Constellations then decided to accelerate the creation of new places by supporting projects developed by other associations.

Since 2014, Constellations has brought its expertise to steering committees and provided financial support, enabling faster realization of these projects.

Projects must first be approved by a subsidizing authority and comply with the Constellations Charter, which guarantees respect for the fundamental rights of every person with a disability.

2014 – 2024: 7 homes in partnership (Villa Pilifs, Farra Stratégie, Artos, CREB Anderlecht, Les Piloux, La Maisonnée, Les Anémones).

Today: 6 active projects (CREB Woluwe – day & residential center, La Forestière, Atipi, Farilu, Les Aubépines). These homes are at an advanced stage, with construction expected to begin in 2026.

In addition, we have just incorporated three new projects, two of which (Le Bois Marcelle and Les Foyers de Bothey) are well advanced thanks to the immediate impact of our assistance.

• Le Bois Marcelle,
• Le Foyers de Bothey
• Le Renivaux.

👉 Each home created also generates local jobs, especially for recent graduates in the medical-social sector.

Our inclusive homes offer a variety of solutions for:

• Young adults seeking adapted places.

• People with a dual diagnosis (intellectual + psychiatric conditions).

• Children and adults with multiple disabilities (mental + physical).

• Children with autism, including those in early childhood.

• Infants in inclusive nurseries (crèche inclusive).

• Elderly people needing a safe and adapted living environment.

👉 Today, the 10 homes already open are fully operational, subsidized, and autonomous.

Never before have we managed so many projects simultaneously.

The international and economic context makes this challenge even more difficult, but we firmly believe that together, we can provide more inclusive housing for families in urgent need. 👉 Your support is essential:
