12th house : La Forestière

Constellations in collaboration with La Forestière association / Fundraising 2021-2022

This day center welcomes 64 people. The current buildings were acquired by the Asbl as its activities developed and the center capacity increased.

They were, at the time of their construction, not built to accommodate disabled people or people with reduced mobility. Moreover, the energy efficiency of these buildings is very poor.

The Asbl has received the agreement in principle of the Cocof https://phare.irisnet.be/ for its project. This will allow the construction of a new space.

An architect with significant experience in building houses designed for people with a mental disability has been recruited. He has just completed plans for the new centre .Plans are now finalized for the lay-out of all spaces inside the building.

The Asbl has received an agreement in principle from the Cocof on its project with a grant of €2 million, which should allow the construction of a new space. The total budget is estimated at €3,600,000.

A very significant help from Cap 48 has already been obtained and we have already found a good part of our 300 000 € contribution (we still need to find 100 000 €). In addition, the sale of buildings belonging to the Asbl and the help of large foundations should enable us to find the necessary money.
