In practice, the CASAF offers services to respond to requests made by users: debt mediation; legal aid; Psychosocial; Material; food and entertainment for adults. These activities are an integral part of the Les Petits Riens group, which develops social economy activities (collection, sorting and sale of second-hand objects) and other social actions, including the accommodation of the homeless in reception centres and professional integration. 

The SYNER'SANTE service of the CASAF in Brussels offers outpatient follow-up to people suffering from addiction and/or psychological difficulties. It also ensures that these target audiences maintain or create social links. The service offers support and medico-psychosocial accompaniment that creates a network of help and care around the person. The specific missions offered by the service are:

1. Individual and tailor-made support, with variable temporality, responsive, outpatient, medicalised, unconditional and free of charge in Brussels and outside,

2. In the event of a break in the established network, the service tries to act as a safety net, remaining present throughout the person's care and for as long as he or she wishes.
