Laurentius

What Laurentius does

Laurentius is a Dutch social housing corporation (woningcorporatie) headquartered at Loevesteinstraat 20 in Breda, operating as a member-owned association (vereniging). The corporation manages approximately 8,300 rental dwellings, parking spaces, and other properties across the municipalities of Breda and Alphen-Chaam in the Netherlands. Its mission centers on providing affordable, quality rental housing and building resilient neighborhoods in collaboration with residents and partner organizations.

The core service is residential property rental at regulated Dutch social housing rates, with pricing determined by property characteristics and tenant income thresholds. Tenant-facing operations are supported by 'Mijn Laurentius', an online portal enabling residents to submit repair requests, schedule maintenance, manage rent payments, modify personal details, and access correspondence. Distribution is handled through a core partnership with the regional housing marketplace klikvoorwonen.nl, where all available rental units are listed. The portfolio is diversified across senior housing (Seniorenwoning), housing exchange (Woningruil), purchase housing including the 'Slimmer kopen' program, and commercial space (Bedrijfsruimte).

Laurentius generates recurring monthly rental subscription revenue from its tenant base, supplemented by parking and commercial income. The organization is executing a multi-year strategic plan (Koersplan 2025-2030) alongside active demolition, new-build, and sustainability (verduurzaming) projects. Governance is participatory: residents may become association members and engage through the Huurderskoepel Laurentius tenant council, distinguishing Laurentius from purely transactional landlords and embedding community accountability into the operating model.
