It’s a pretty disturbing story. Jeanneke Vervoort, aged 96, has lived in a CPAS house in Waarloos since 1950. Problem: the house has been declared uninhabitable, she must move by mid-November.
Obviously, the nonagenarian refuses. According to The last news, the municipal administration offered him a rest home in the Hof van Waarloos. The same street, a few hundred meters away. But Jeanneke doesn’t see it that way. She explains: “I am anchored in this house. I like living there. It may be old-fashioned, but I don’t want anything else. Even if I am offered the most expensive villas. I’m still doing well. I still make myself food every day. Leave me to die here. If they want me to leave, they will have to pull me with all their might. »
However, it is above all a question of safety if she has to leave the premises. the house is really in poor condition. “It’s irresponsible to let someone live there.” The roof is about to collapse and the side wall is very unstable. I don’t want to have to worry that the house is collapsing,” explains Cindy Vanbaeden (N-VA).
Several residents of the neighborhood try to support Jeanneke. “It’s emotional, you know. I am completely in shock. I know it will be an uphill battle. After all, it’s not my house. But it’s also difficult.”
Cindy Vanbaeden adds: “If she doesn’t move out, we have to do the eviction. This is what the law provides. But I hope it doesn’t come to that and that Jeanneke changes her mind. »
