Applying for an affordable housing permit

Are you going to rent social housing from a housing corporation (woningbouwcorporatie)? Then in many municipalities you do not need an affordable housing permit, but in some you do. Check with your municipality.

The eligibility conditions for an affordable housing permit differ depending on the municipality. Eligibility criteria may stipulate that:

• you work or study in the municipality or region;
• you already live (or have lived) in the municipality or region;
• the property matches your income and the size of your family.
