Leuven winter shelter moves and becomes permanent night shelter: "Capacity to double the number of beds"

The winter shelter for the homeless in Leuven opens its doors for the first time this season, providing beds and meals for up to 12 visitors daily. Next year, the shelter will move to a larger, permanent location that will operate year-round. The current shelter will close after this season, with plans to double the number of beds in the future. The city aims to offer a sustainable housing solution for the homeless, addressing their needs beyond just temporary shelter.
