A bit of history

When Fapil gets created in 1988, the issue of access to housing, once merely solved, is coming back through unknown phenomenons of social exclusion. To face these new forms of social exclusion, the exchange of knowledge and crossing of know-how then becomes necessary. That is when the idea of social inclusion through housing emerges. That is also when Social rental agencies (Aivs), let / sublet from institutionnal social rental housing are implemented for the very first time… News practises are created, new agents enter the game.

In 1990, the « Besson act » gives a new impulse. Social inclusion and personal promotion through housing get a new frame. Initiatives abound and associations (NGOs) become partners that count fot the implémentation of housing policies.

As a new housing crisis rages in the early 2000s, Fapil and its partners claim for the proclamation of the right to housing as a fundamental right. In the year 2007, the act on justiciable right to housing is passed.
