Affordable social housing in Voorne aan Zee

In Brielle and the surrounding area, about 750 rent-controlled homes have been given new owners, ensuring that tenants remain assured of affordable housing in their trusted environment. Approximately 300 of these homes were purchased by the municipality of Voorne aan Zee, for which we provided the funding. This allowed Voorne aan Zee’s municipal housing company to take control of the homes, thereby contributing to the preservation of rented social housing in the region.

Een vier verdiepingen tellend woongebouw met witte en grijze gevels en turquoise accenten op de deuren. Het gebouw heeft meerdere balkons en ramen. Op de voorgrond staan bomen en zijn auto's geparkeerd. De lucht is deels bewolkt, wat wijst op een daglichtsituatie.

The homes were previously owned by Hef Wonen, which is now focusing on the Rotterdam urban region. The new owners will make sustainability and quality improvements. This will not only make the homes future-proof, but also ensure lower energy costs and a higher quality of living for the tenants.

This acquisition lays the foundation for a sustainable and stable housing stock inVoorne aan Zee, which will keep the region attractive for both current and future residents. The cooperation between the housing associations Maasdelta and Ressort Wonen and the municipal housing company is set to contribute to a solid housing market and a careful, responsible development of the region.

Barneveld housing association: a sustainable future for the Oude Bloemen district

Barneveld housing association has made 79 houses in the Oude Bloemenbuurt more sustainable. It worked with building contractor Van Wijnen and obtained funding from BNG to implement various energy-saving measures, including the insulation of the buildings’ outer shell and the installation of solar panels. The measures have reduced carbon emissions and energy costs, and provide greater comfort for residents. This project is a perfect illustration of how housing associations can accelerate sustainability through smart partnerships.
