The Public Social Welfare Centre (CPAS) is responsible for the social policy in Brussels. The City is therefore giving a building in the Rue de la Samaritaine to the CPAS in order to counter the lack of emergency accommodation for people in difficulty.

The building consists of 24 apartments, all of which are inhabited and that gradually, each time a lease expires, will become transit apartments. They will be used for different situations:

• fighting uninhabitable housing, first ordered by the Mayor or otherwise by decision of the Executive Board of the Regional Inspection for Housing
• fire and other fatal accidents
• expulsions
• homeless
