The coordination of district contracts

District contracts represent the main tool of revitalization of districts. These are mostly weakened districts that need requalification of the public place, the construction of housing, as well as a social projects (projects of socio-professional insertion, accompaniment in housing, the intensification of the social link). The district contracts are led on a precise perimeter for a duration of 4 years (and 2 supplementary years for construction sites).

The coordinators of district contracts are integrated into BRAVVO since the middle of 2005, but the partnership intervenes mainly under an administrative angle. The mediators of cleanliness are also under contract at Bravvo. In spite of this administrative link, we are very far from having exploited all the potentialities of partnership between the teams of coordination of district contracts and Bravvo.

The work incites to relevant collaborations, for example, with the social mediators of Bravvo (organized by common animations, partnership with the population, the promotion of the activities of the contract). It develops new initiatives:

The three-year subsidies (street lighting) and the reassurance of social housing

The City of Brussels intends to promote a programme of reappropriation of the sites of social housing as well as a programme of improvement of the lighting on all the territory. The reassurance of social housing and the good development of their neighborhoods appear in the priorities of the Public Policy Programme of the City. An inventory of needs was realized with the aim of a physical reassurance of the accesses to social housing, on all the sites.

The works are financed by the Region (security and prevention contract) and Bravvo assures the administrative interface. In lighting, an accent is henceforth put on the description by the agents of Bravvo, who choose sites which could turn out priority for the renewal of the lighting.
