Around 60 Belgian collectives and organisations backed the renewed Housing Action Day call during the pandemic. The organisers planned a national demonstration alongside decentralised and online actions, arguing that housing precarity was a structural issue rather than an individual misfortune. Their demands included rent regulation, ending evictions, more social housing, action against vacant properties and repeal of the anti-squat law. The campaign also sought to connect local struggles across regions and language communities.
