‘Reduce the number of social rental units’, says government advisory board

The government must also abandon plans to give tenants the right to buy their social housing, and housing associations must be encouraged to buy more homes. The municipality also has a greater role for housing associations in social housing.

‘I totally agree’

The umbrella organization Aedes says it ‘strongly agrees’ that the national government should give social housing a high priority. “We have been calling on the central government for some time to get more control in this area, and the Council agrees,” he said.

The umbrella organization does not agree with the Dutch government’s proposal to require one of the housing associations to support each other financially if one of them has difficulty achieving its goals. If a housing association unexpectedly gets into financial problems, according to Van Rijn, housing associations can find a solution themselves.
