“I wrote to the king to avoid the street”: the cry of distress from a Moroccan family in Antwerp

Mohammed Enniya, his wife and their three children, risk finding themselves on the street in the coming days. The family of Moroccan origin has been trying in vain for more than a year to find new accommodation after the expiration of their rental contract.

“If I haven’t found anything by November 21, a bailiff will put us on the street,” said Mohammed, who has been looking for new accommodation for more than a year. The Moroccan, his wife and their three children have lived in this CPAS accommodation on rue Essen in Antwerp since 2014. Initially for one year and extended for nine years, the rental contract ended last summer. The CPAS notified the Moroccan family of the end of the contract and asked them to vacate the premises. Failing to have found new accommodation, Mohammed and his family continue to occupy this accommodation, reports Nieuwsblad.be.
