Abbeyfield Belgium asbl is a non-profit association founded in 1995 that adapts the English Abbeyfield co-housing model to Belgium. It develops and supports shared housing homes for independent, autonomous seniors, typically aged 55 and over, where residents jointly manage their home and take part in community life. The association grants the Abbeyfield label to local houses, coordinates communication between local associations and promotes the concept across Belgium. Regional associations, Abbeyfield Vlaanderen and Abbeyfield en Wallonie, promote the model in their own regions. The network counts 11 houses in Belgium, supported by volunteers. The organisation is based in Etterbeek, Brussels, and is affiliated with The Abbeyfield Society.
