Stek

What Stek does

Stek is a Dutch social housing corporation (Woonstichting Stek) that provides affordable rental housing in the municipalities of Hillegom, Lisse, Noordwijk, and Teylingen in the Bollenstreek region of South Holland, Netherlands. Operating under Dutch housing law (woningwet), the corporation allocates social housing units to income-eligible residents through a regulated registration system (inschrijven) and offers a digital self-service portal (Mijn Stek) for rent payment, repair requests, and tenant communications. Its portfolio is supplemented by mid-market rental (middenhuur), free-sector rental, commercial space, and garage/parking units, alongside the option to purchase former rental housing.

Core technology consists of a property management system, the Mijn Stek online tenant portal, contact form infrastructure, and presence across Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Twitter for community engagement. Stek also publishes a digital newsletter and a physical tenant magazine (Bewonersblad Binnen). Revenue is generated almost exclusively through recurring monthly rental income from the housing stock, with pricing determined by the WOZ property value, income-based eligibility under Dutch social housing regulations, and separate servicekosten for utilities and maintenance. Tenants may qualify for rent subsidy (huurtoeslag) based on income.

Operationally, Stek is engaged in sustainable construction (duurzaam bouwen), active renovation of existing stock, and community-building initiatives in partnership with organizations such as Stichting Present Bollenstreek. The corporation is governed by a Raad van Commissarissen and reports against annual performance agreements with local municipalities, with KWH quality certification as a benchmark for tenant satisfaction.
