What Woonstichting 'Thuis does

Woonstichting 'Thuis is a non-profit Dutch social housing corporation (woningcorporatie) formed on 1 July 2013 through the merger of Aert Swaens (Veldhoven) and Domein (Eindhoven), with predecessor associations dating back to 1911. The corporation manages approximately 13,000+ rental and owner-occupied homes across six municipalities in the Brainport Regio — Eindhoven, Veldhoven, Best, Son en Breugel, Waalre, and Oirschot (added in 2020). It serves low- and middle-income renters under government-regulated social rents set via the woningwaardering point system and income-linked allocation (passend toewijzen), a free-sector rental tier (from €1,184.83/month), and home-ownership products including Koopgarant (shared-equity, 10–25% discount with buyback), Vrije Verkoop (market-price sales), and Kopen naar Wens (deferred payment).

The organization operates through a digital tenant self-service platform ('Mijn Pagina') supporting rent payment via iDEAL, maintenance requests, and digital post via Postex, alongside the Wooniezie regional housing allocation platform shared with 11 other corporations and covering 70,000+ homes across 17 municipalities. Distribution is anchored by the Eindhoven headquarters and walk-in offices in Veldhoven and Best, complemented by SeniorenPunt (Eindhoven) and Langer Thuis Wijzer (Veldhoven) advisory hubs operated jointly with care organizations and other housing corporations. Its technology and operating focus is on sustainability — installing solar panels on all suitable homes at no extra cost to tenants, monitored via 365zon, Lens, and Sungivety, and a portfolio-wide program to make homes gas-free and insulated.

The business model combines recurring monthly rental income from a large diffuse tenant base with one-time proceeds from Koopgarant and Vrije Verkoop sales, plus ancillary income from parking and garages. Tenant segments include seniors (55+), young starters (via the 'Woningdelen' shared-housing program), urgent housing seekers under the regional urgency scheme, and downsizing participants in the cross-corporation Van Groot naar Beter priority scheme. Construction is delivered in part through the WoonST joint venture with BAM Wonen and Hurks, while community engagement is operated through the Duurzaamheidspact (Sustainability Pact) with Gemeente Eindhoven, Stichting Present volunteer network, and resident-led livability programs. 'Thuis is recognized as a World-Class Workplace (Nederland 2024-2025).
