RIBW Overijssel

What RIBW Overijssel does

RIBW Overijssel is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting) headquartered in Zwolle that provides supported living and mental-health care services to approximately 3,000 (young) adults with psychological vulnerabilities across Overijssel province. Its service portfolio spans the full intensity spectrum of the Dutch GGZ/social-support system: Beschermd Wonen (24/7 protected living with on-site professionals), Begeleid Wonen (guided independent living with available 24/7 support), Ambulante Begeleiding (home-based ambulatory support), Community Wonen, and Maatschappelijke Opvang (shelter services). Supporting programs include the WERK work-integration program, Netwerk en Ontmoeting for social-network building, and the Nexus Zelfregiecentrum self-management center in Zwolle. Delivery is operationalized through approximately 70 residential and ambulatory locations across 25 municipalities, supported by roughly 900 employees and 100 volunteers.

The underlying technology stack is modest and oriented toward client self-service rather than algorithmic differentiation. MijnRIBW, launched in 2022, is an online client portal enabling activity registration, appointment scheduling, and communication with support staff; standard client management systems underpin operational workflows. No AI/ML capabilities, proprietary algorithms, or third-party AI integrations are disclosed.

RIBW Overijssel is funded almost entirely through the Dutch regulated healthcare system: municipal social support (Wmo / Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning) and national long-term care insurance (Wlz / Wet langdurige zorg), with clients paying an income-dependent personal contribution to CAK (Centraal Administratie Kantoor). As an ANBI-registered foundation, the organization is governed by a Raad van Bestuur and Raad van Toezicht and adheres to Governancecode Zorg 2022. Client acquisition is referral-driven via social district teams (sociaal wijkteam), municipalities, and healthcare professionals; the organization is essentially a regional government contractor with a community-based service delivery model rather than a commercial enterprise.
