Welcome to the Constellations website

Supporting Constellations means contributing to the creation of new, inclusive residential centres. This means your help  increases  opportunities for people with mental disabilities. This  will enable them to lead rich and fulfilling lives.

Between 2008 and 2027, Constellations will have opened 15 houses with  436 places. (244 places have  opened , and 192 are being created.) These new places are either opened by Constellations itself or by Constellations, through a partnership with another association. All these places  provide the equivalent of 20% of the existing places in the Brussels region.

Some details :

• Between 2006 and 2013: opening of the first three houses, Les Bolets, Artemia, Orfea.
• Between 2014 and september 2024: opening of seven residential centres in partnership with other associations. 

These are Villa Pilifs, Farra Stratégie, Artos, Le CREB Anderlecht, Les Piloux , La Toûne(la Maisonnée) and les Anémones (opening september 2024).

Today, 5 other centres are in  a phase of “active project”: Le CREB Woluwe (daycare), Le CREB Woluwe (residential center) , La Forestière  (daycare),Atipi (daycare) and Les Aubépines (residential center).

The running  of the centres requires professional support, offering new job opportunities to a large number of people,  for example young graduates.

All our centres offer a wide diversity of accommodation. Constellations' first concern has been to offer solutions to the most urgent problems we were confronted with, particularly the lack of places for young adults . We have also developed places for people with specific requests:

• people  with a double diagnosis (mental and physical disability),
• early childhood care (including a nursery)
• children with multiple disabilities (mental and physical disabilities)
• elderly people.
• autistic children with a double  diagnosis

The 10 centres that are already operational work perfectly, are autonomous and running costs are provided funded through the regional authorities.

 Today, we find ourselves in an unprecedented situation. This is the first time that we are  undertaking so many projects. The international situation and the resulting inflation have made the challenge even more difficult. We need your support more than ever!
