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.

    CPAS de Verviers — Antenne sociale Hodimont

    Rue des Fabriques 66, 4800 Verviers

    Call the central number to confirm the right reception session and which office handles your address.

    For an in-person application bring your identity document and sign the application receipt as instructed. Be ready to explain your household, resources, existing benefits, housing situation and urgent needs.

  • Verviers

    CPAS de Verviers — Antenne sociale Prés-Javais

    Rue Saint-Remacle 1, 4800 Verviers

    If you already receive help or have an open application, contact your current social worker instead of sending a new request.

    For an in-person application bring your identity document and sign the application receipt as instructed. Be ready to explain your household, resources, existing benefits, housing situation and urgent needs.

  • Verviers

    CPAS de Verviers — Antenne sociale Réforme-Chômage

    Rue de Pepinster 82, 4800 Verviers

    Book by choosing the month your entitlement ends, as slots open fifteen days before that month starts.

    Have the ONEM (national employment office) notice showing your end-of-entitlement date available, together with identity and information about household resources and other benefits. Ask when the formal application should be made in your situation and which evidence the worker needs. Do not assume an information appointment itself establishes entitlement.

    CPAS de Verviers — Dispositif d’Urgence Sociale

    Rue Ortmans Hauzeur 39, 4800 Verviers

    Phone at any hour about a social emergency or homelessness, but the building is not open around the clock.

    Explain where you are, the urgent need, who is affected and how the team can reach you. Tell the worker about immediate housing or essential-living difficulties and any existing social-service contact. Ask the team which documents would help assess your situation.

  • Verviers

    CPAS de Verviers — Service de l’aide sociale

    Rue du Collège 49, 4800 Verviers

    An ordinary e-mail does not count as an application, so use the official online request or a reception session.

    For an in-person application bring your identity document and sign the application receipt as instructed. Be ready to explain your household, resources, existing benefits, housing situation and urgent needs. Bring relevant papers already available and ask the social worker for the evidence needed in your case. Report changes affecting the assessment.
