Spaces to rebuild and bounce back.
Through accommodation, support, and solidarity initiatives, we provide everyone with a safe environment to rebuild and move forward.
From welcoming young people in family breakdown to supporting LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers, through our solidarity shop, each of our projects addresses a specific need while pursuing a common goal: to offer future prospects.
The Alan Turing House: a refuge to rebuild the future.
The Alan Turing House is a secure accommodation for LGBTQIA+ young people aged 18 to 25 who are experiencing family breakdown or precariousness. Located in Brussels, it offers up to 14 places, allowing residents to rebuild themselves in a supportive and structured environment.
Each young person benefits from personalised support: psychosocial follow-up, administrative assistance, support for training and employment, and collective workshops to enhance autonomy. Post-accommodation follow-up is also offered to ensure a stable transition to sustainable housing.
Sinds 2018 hebben meer dan 195 jongeren onderdak en een nieuwe start gevonden dankzij deze structuur. Ondersteund door de Cocom, de Brusselse regio en talrijke partners, is het Alan Turinghuis veel meer dan een dak boven het hoofd: het is een springplank naar autonomie.
Zon&Pluie: a supportive and committed shop
Zon&Pluie is much more than a shop: it is a solidarity project that directly supports the actions of le Refuge. Located in Ixelles, at 27 Prince Royal Street, the store offers a selection of second-hand clothing, accessories, and items, combining ethics, style, and social commitment.
Managed exclusively by a team of volunteers, Zon&Pluie enables the funding of accommodation and support for young LGBTQIA+ individuals in precarious situations. We sometimes receive support from external volunteers, who come to lend a hand on occasion.
We also have points of sale in Yuman stores in Saint-Gilles and Etterbeek, making our products accessible to a wider audience and strengthening our solidarity impact.

The CADAL: a refuge for LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers
The CADAL (Reception Centre for LGBTQIA+ Asylum Seekers) is accommodation dedicated to LGBTQIA+ individuals seeking international protection. With a capacity of 16 places, this centre provides a safe and welcoming space for refugees fleeing persecution due to their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Residents benefit from specialised support, including administrative and legal assistance in their asylum process, access to healthcare, and psychosocial support. To achieve this, we collaborate with key stakeholders such as CIRÉ (Coordination et Initiatives pour Réfugiés et Étrangers) and Fedasil, who support and assist asylum seekers in Belgium.
A place of welcome, a new beginning.
And what if you were part of the change?
Support, share, get involved!
Every gesture counts: a donation, volunteering, a partnership, or simply by talking about us, you help to provide a future for young LGBTQIA+ people in distress.
