• Acoustics, energy, insulation, renting, heritage, small co-ownerships, urban planning and everyday actions

Homegrade and the Réseau Habitat are two complementary structures that share a common objective. The Réseau Habitat differs in that it is more locally based. It brings together nine Brussels associations which are active in urban renewal and in supporting the resident’s participation in the revitalization of their neighbourhood. It is close to the inhabitants and their socio-economic reality.
