Our project involved the purchase and conversion of the building located 211 Mons road with the main objectives:

• creating housing managed by social housing agency Districts;
• making employment and training in building trades;
• creating a shared infrastructure.

Creating housing

This set consisted of two buildings along the street and a warehouse overlooking the site of slaughterhouses. The latter remained property of Abatan, site manager.

The project involved the renovation of two buildings in front of the Mons road. The accommodation to the floors were empty because of unsanitary conditions and the ground floor was occupied by a car dealer.

In an area where new housing is mainly for a business audience, and where slumlords are many, it seemed important to reallocate such a building to a function of housing affordable for local families.

The transformation has enabled the creation of six apartments on the floors:

• two 1 bedroom apartments (rent 387 euro)
• 2 bedroom duplex (rent 446 euros))
• two 2 bedroom apartments (rent 446 euros)
• 4 bedrooms duplex (rent 640 euros)

Putting employment and training in building trades

The building has been fully renovated: roof, chassis, covers, special techniques and finishing.

- other hand, this renovation has served as a school-yard to the technical team of socio-professional ULAC.

This team had opportunity to intervene at various stages of renovation: small demolitions, Gitaga, flooring, manufacturing and installation of stairs, installation of millwork (doors, baseboards, etc.), manufacture of kitchen furniture, coatings floor and paintings. They had the opportunity to follow step by step the evolution of the site.

demolitions important, roofing work, drainage and special techniques have been entrusted to firms 'classic'. With the experience of the place Lemmens, we have indeed noticed that it was rewarding for the ISP business to work on projects in parallel with traditional companies.

The creation of a collective

The renovation has allowed the establishment of the Centre of Urban Renewal and the Union of Tenants Cureghem Anderlecht. Both associations are open to the public several times a week, at hotlines.

Conclusion: economic benefits in pockets of poverty Brussels

addition to the creation of six housing and offices in a building that had a chaotic life (cinema shop and garage), we wish to highlight other positive aspects of this project. One of the objectives which is close to our heart, is the involvement of

audiences to the revitalization of the neighborhood in all its dimensions. This project is emblematic of how we work and to consider solutions to the problems experienced by the population Anderlecht.

This renovation has:

• the sharing of knowledge and goals of various public and private organizations: Community associations, Federal Administration, Regional Administration, private banking business of building conventional, business / integration structures and volunteers
• really developing training qualifications for all given the magnitude of construction
• economic benefits for the structures 'socio-professional integration in terms of activities perpetuated
• direct economic benefits by creating activities for making use of people (Art 60, PTP, trainers and skilled workers engaged for the coaching on site), mostly from the neighborhood
• the provision of a site-size, with its problems of coordination between traditional companies and business vocational rehabilitation programs, which all faced (2 tantrums or 3 ...).

The social and economic involvement of target audiences is permanent in our projects. We have consistently called on the Region and the Commune of Anderlecht to promote projects that combine public investment and social policy objectives, which would result direct economic impact on vulnerable and some policy coherence.
