What Alvinnenberg does

Alvinnenberg vzw is a Belgian non-profit (vereniging zonder winstoogmerk) care provider based in Heverlee (Leuven), operating as a residential and support facility for adults with intellectual or multiple disabilities. The organization delivers three integrated core services: Individuele ondersteuning (Individual Support) provided in clients' own homes, Woonondersteuning (Residential Support) across 8 on-campus group homes plus 5 inclusive community housing units, and Dagondersteuning (Day Support) available 7 days per week including weekends. Its methodology is grounded in Gentle Teaching and Contextual Working frameworks, with an 'open facility' policy that examines all support requests without pre-exclusion.

The business model is primarily government-funded through VAPH (Vlaams Agentschap voor Personen met een Handicap) personal budgets (persoonsvolgend budget), which clients use to reimburse the organization's staffing costs. Clients additionally contribute from their personal income for housing and living costs. A third revenue stream consists of donations and self-acquired resources (via direct bank transfer and the Trooper fundraising platform) used for new projects, materials, and furniture. Alvinnenberg is part of the tRede vzw collaborative network, which provides its operational mission framework and referral pathways to partner services such as De Korte Zorg. The organization with 35 employees holds VAPH authorization as a regulated care provider.
