Social welfare centres in Belgium, by city

Ask at the centre of the municipality where you live

Larger cities have several service points, spread over different neighbourhoods. Some want an online request first, others hold drop-in sessions on set days, and a few hand out numbered tickets that can run out early. Find your city to see how its centre works before you head there.

  • Brussels

    CPAS de la Ville de Bruxelles — Accueil central

    Rue Haute 296, 1000 Brussels

    Phone first to confirm reception arrangements, then staff will guide you to the right neighbourhood team.

    Office website+32 2 543 63 39

    Explain your actual living situation, your help request and any existing CPAS (public social welfare centre) case so staff can identify the right team. Ask which documents are needed for the next step; there is no one universal checklist. The branch lookup uses postcode, street and house number, so have your address available where applicable. A referral is not an award or payment date.

A social worker assesses the request before any benefit decision.
