testimonials
They tell their stories
These testimonies were collected from people living in substandard housing in Brussels. Their words are invaluable : they show that these situations are not exceptions, but an all too common reality. Through their stories, we understand that substandard housing is not an isolated case, but a widespread problem linked to the housing crisis affecting Brussels. This page exists to highlight these experiences, which are often overlooked.
Unhealthy living conditions isolate people, but collective action can shift the balance of power. Organisations such as the Tenants’ Union and Wuune enable individuals to transform a problem they face alone into a struggle fought together.
Together, we are more powerful.
