In Brussels, Community Land Trust Brussels (CLTB) is working with Yolande and Rodolphe, two owner-occupants who have agreed to experiment with the Upcycling Trust model. These two projects share several characteristics: the owners face a risk of “renoviction”, they have committed to the Upcycling Trust initiative for its values, and both pilot projects are located in Saint-Gilles, a neighbourhood of Brussels that isunder considerable pressure of gentrification.
Community Land Trust Brussels took the time to collect their testimonies before the renovation work began.
