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 13 houses with around 385 places. (197 places have opened ,40 are in construction and 146 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 more than 15% of the existing places in the Brussels region.
Some details :
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:
The seven centres that are already operational work perfectly, are autonomous and running costs are provided funded through the regional authorities.
Il 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!

Launch of our 14th project. Here's ATIPI!
This inclusive project will be a day centre welcoming 20 young adults with intellectual disabilities. It will be located in the former deconsecrated chapel, Our
Lady Queen of Heaven, in Watermael-Boitsfort. It benefits from a beautiful garden of 26 ares housing several vegetable gardens arranged in collaboration with the local residents.
To be continued...
We have just obtained planning permission for the CREB after a year and a half of fierce battles. This is excellent news!
The new project at Les Anémones is making rapid progress, with the structural work having
just been completed. Constellations and Les Anémones are working together on this exciting project to construct a building to accommodate 40 mentally handicapped young people and adults,
including a dual diagnosis centre for 10 autistic children, the first in Belgium specially designed for this type of problem. In all, 21 new places will be created!
On Friday, June 16th, it was the official inauguration of the Toûne, the dual diagnosis house of the Maisonnée, in the presence of numerous dignitaries. The crucial role of Constellations in the realization of this project was unanimously recognized.
