Appropriate Allocation Social Housing Rules in Westland

Appropriate allocation requires housing associations in Westland, such as Vidomes and Staedion, to allocate 80-95% of social rental housing based on income and household size. This follows from the Housing Act (article 2.26). A dwelling is 'appropriate' if the rent does not exceed 30% of your income and fits your family composition, taking into account the tight market in districts such as Naaldwijk, Monster and Kwintsheul. In case of deviation from the rule, 10% must go to urgent cases, such as status holders or victims of domestic violence in Westland. Tenants in Westland have input through the Westland Tenants' Council. The municipality of Westland strictly monitors this via the local dashboard on westland1.nl. Does the rent exceed the liberalisation threshold (€879 in 2024)? Then no housing permit is required, not even for the greenhouse horticulture community. Check the annual allocation reports of the housing associations for transparency. In case of violation, you can complain to the Housing Authority or the municipality. This rule combats segregation in Westland and promotes affordable housing for seasonal workers and families. Example: a single greenhouse worker with €30,000 income qualifies for a maximum rent of €600 in Poeldijk. Contact Vidomes for personal calculations in your area. (218 words)
