ZVH

What ZVH does

ZVH is a Dutch non-profit housing corporation (woningcorporatie) headquartered in Zaandam, Netherlands, established in 1913, that develops, owns, and manages more than 5,000 rental dwellings in the municipality of Zaanstad. Its portfolio spans three regulated segments — social rental housing at nationally capped rents, mid-market (middenhuur) units between social and free-market levels, and free-sector rentals — with the 2026 national social-housing rent ceiling of €932.93/month setting the upper bound on regulated units. Tenants range from low-income households to seniors, young starters, and care-needy residents, with allocation routed through the DAK Woningnet and Woonmatch regional platforms under a point-based system in effect since January 2023. ZVH is overseen by the Autoriteit Wonen and operates under Dutch housing-association law with mandated public-service obligations.

The operating platform is built around Mijn ZVH, a 24/7 online tenant portal that handles rent viewing and payment (via iDEAL/Wero and direct debit), repair requests (Reparatieverzoek), digital correspondence using PTX codes, and personal-detail updates. A €7.41/month (2026) Onderhoudsabonnement (maintenance subscription) covers minor repairs otherwise falling to tenants, while Energiefixers — delivered via partner Fixbrigade — provides free in-home energy-saving visits. Accessibility is addressed through the Tolkie Leeshulp reading assistant embedded in the corporate site. Active development projects include the recently delivered Timbr complex (158 sustainable rental units in Kogerveld, with modular construction and a bamboo facade) and the Jonker Juffer complex under construction (90 senior social homes plus 45 care homes operated by Zorggroep Zaanstreek), with further projects (Aris van Broekplantsoen) in the preparation phase.

Revenue is dominated by recurring monthly residential rental income from the social, mid-market, and free-sector portfolios, supplemented by the recurring maintenance subscription and modest ancillary fees. Construction and renovation activity is conducted in partnership with developers (SBB, Heddes Bouw & Ontwikkeling, Blauwhoed, KOERS), care providers (Zorggroep Zaanstreek), and the municipality of Zaanstad under a cooperation agreement committing to at least 2,600 new social rentals and 2,800 sustainability upgrades by 2030. Distribution combines the self-service digital portal, telephone and walk-in office support (Grote Tocht 100, Zaandam), and referral through the regional allocation platforms for prospective tenants. ZVH does not disclose specific revenue figures and operates without private-equity, venture-capital, or other institutional investor ownership.
