What Stichting De Tussenvoorziening does

Stichting De Tussenvoorziening is a Dutch nonprofit foundation (Stichting) headquartered in Utrecht that delivers integrated social services for people experiencing homelessness, addiction, psychiatric conditions, intellectual disabilities, forensic supervision, undocumented status, sex-work involvement, or financial distress. Founded in 1994 as the Tussenbus — a volunteer-run bus distributing blankets, breakfast, and soup to street homeless — the organization has grown through successive mergers (NoiZ in 2001, HAP/Weerdsingel in 2005, BOKA in 2008, Meisjesstad in 2009) into a multi-service platform operating 25+ physical locations across Utrecht, Amersfoort, IJsselstein, and surrounding municipalities, supported by ~500 paid staff and ~350–400 volunteers serving more than 1,500 people annually. The service portfolio spans 24-hour shelter (including a cold-weather shelter activated below 0°C), short-term corporatiehotels, Housing First (75% success rate, reported as higher than comparable models), assisted living/begeleid wonen, protected and forensic housing, Wlz-funded long-term care (VG3, VG6, GGZ1, GGZ3 indications), debt counselling and budget management (Stadsgeldbeheer), and talent/activation programming (Springplank 030, Atelier Spat, Imago).

The underlying operational technology is a conventional social-care management stack — client registration, care administration, and outcomes tracking — overlaid with proprietary human-process methodologies (8-fasenmodel, Presentiebenadering, Mobility Mentoring, outreachend werken, re-integratie methodiek) that function as the organization's differentiating IP rather than as software. Quality is governed by HKZ certification (since 2007) and ANBI charitable status. No AI/ML capability, proprietary algorithms, APIs, or app products were disclosed; client-facing mobile or web applications are not in evidence.

The business model is non-commercial and grant-funded. Revenue streams comprise municipality of Utrecht contracts for Maatschappelijke Opvang (guaranteed through 2028), WMO (Wet Maatschappelijke Ondersteuning) and WLZ (Wet Langdurige Zorg) per-client funding administered via regional Zorgkantoren (healthcare insurers), provincial/national anti-homelessness program grants (including a €22M regional Living Lab 'Eerst een Thuis' award in 2020), ANBI-channeled public donations, and modest self-generated revenue from the Imago educational presentation program (€150 per session) and the Leergang Gemengd Wonen licensing program. Clients typically access services at zero or nominal cost, with small personal contributions (eigen bijdrage) determined by CAK for selected services. Go-to-market is referral-led through verwijzers (municipal caseworkers, healthcare providers, reclassering, WoningNet), supplemented by direct-access channels for emergency and undocumented services.
