'Houses for the poor and the needy'. As early as the 14th century rich families and rich corporations of Flemish cities built houses for poor and needy widows and widowers. Sometimes the houses were constructed by corporations or guilds, for their members who had lost their income or were unable to work because of illness, handicaps or other mishaps.
