What Waardwonen does

Waardwonen is a Dutch social housing corporation (woningcorporatie) founded in 1912 and headquartered in Huissen, Netherlands. It manages and develops social rental housing across the municipalities of Lingewaard and Berg en Dal, serving individual tenants and households including starters, families, seniors, status holders, and care-needing residents. The corporation holds and operates a portfolio of social and free-sector rental units — apartments, single-family homes, and care housing — allocated primarily through the regional Entree.nu platform, with priority given to local Lingewaard residents and urgent cases. Supplementary tenant-facing products include the Mijn Waardwonen digital portal, the Post Digitaal digital mail service (delivered via Postex), a subscription-based Klein Onderhoud minor maintenance service, and assistance with huurtoeslag (housing allowance) applications. Tenant organizations and a Leefbaarheidsfonds underpin a community-led participation model.

The business is regulated under Dutch social housing law, with rents subject to government-set maximum increases (2026: 3.3% social, 4.1% lowest rents, 4.4% free sector) and oversight by the Autoriteit Woningcorporaties and Waarborgfonds Sociale Woningbouw. Service costs (glass fund €2.30/month, minor maintenance €6.25/month) and incremental fees represent ancillary revenue streams on top of the rental subscription base. Waardwonen invests heavily in sustainability: new construction is gas-free with A+++ to A++++ energy labels, modular wood construction (Sallandsgoed with Barli and Hodes Huisvesting) achieves 60% circularity, ~50 heat pumps are installed per year toward a gas-free-by-2050 goal, and the corporation holds CO2 Performance Ladder level 3 certification.

The corporation has 11–50 employees, operates offices in Huissen (temporarily closed for renovation from March 2026), Gendt, and Millingen aan de Rijn, and is currently pursuing a formal merger with WOONstichting Gendt announced in November 2023. Active development projects include Sallandsgoed (71 modular units across two phases), Driegaarden (190 planned social rental units within a 650-home masterplan with BPD and VanWonen), Groene Driehoek (72-home renewal), Gendt energy efficiency renovations (running to 2027), and Blauwe Hoek / Doornenburg (22 apartments delivered summer 2025 via Van Wijnen).
