What OCMW Aarschot does

OCMW Aarschot (Openbaar Centrum voor Maatschappelijk Welzijn Aarschot) is the statutory Public Centre for Social Welfare for the municipality of Aarschot in Flanders, Belgium. It is a government entity established under Belgian/Flemish law and is wholly owned by Stad Aarschot (City of Aarschot). The organization delivers a comprehensive portfolio of social welfare services to eligible residents of the municipality, organized across multiple operating units: Woonzorgcentrum Sint-Rochus provides 24/7 residential care for seniors; Dagverzorgingscentrum De Poort provides daytime supervised care for elderly or disabled individuals; Lokaal dienstencentrum Orleanshof operates as a neighborhood-level community service center; Huis van het Kind coordinates family and early childhood services; Buurtrestaurant offers affordable community meals; and Buurtwerk runs neighborhood-based outreach and community work programs. Additional service lines include Sociale hulp (social counseling and crisis support), Financiële hulp (budget counseling, debt mediation, emergency financial support), Digitale hulp (digital literacy and online government service navigation), Hulp aan huis (domestic home help), Hulp bij wonen (housing assistance), Organisatienetwerk inburgering (immigrant integration services), and broader Welzijn & gezondheid programming.

The underlying technology is a municipal website platform (ocmw-aarschot.be and the parent Stad Aarschot portal at aarschot.be) used for service information, citizen access, and administrative communication. No proprietary software products, APIs, or AI capabilities are disclosed. Service distribution is exclusively physical and local — delivered through the listed facilities plus mobile in-home services within Aarschot's geographic boundary.

The organization has 37 employees and does not operate a commercial revenue model. As a public welfare institution, services are subsidized or free to eligible residents, and the entity is funded through the City of Aarschot's budget and Flemish government allocations rather than through market-based pricing. The addressable customer base is the entire resident population of Aarschot, with primary segments including seniors requiring residential or day care, families with young children, individuals needing financial or social assistance, immigrants requiring integration support, and community members seeking engagement programs. No revenue figure, funding round, headcount growth, or financial benchmark is disclosed in the source data.
