Thius

What Thius does

Thius is a Dutch social housing corporation (woningcorporatie) headquartered at J. S. de Jongplein 1 in Tiel, Netherlands, that manages approximately 7,500 rental housing units across three municipalities in the Rivierenland region of Gelderland province: Buren, Neder-Betuwe, and Tiel. Founded in 1974 and structured as a private non-profit, Thius functions as a regulated social landlord providing affordable housing to residents who meet Dutch social housing income thresholds, with services spanning the full rental lifecycle including maintenance, repairs, tenant complaints, housing modifications, and reporting.

The company's core offerings include social rental housing, a senior downsizing priority scheme (Doorstroomregeling) for tenants aged 55+, care housing for residents with a CIZ care indication, commercial spaces, parking and garages, and a large-scale sustainability retrofit program. Tenant self-service is delivered through the "Mijn Thius" digital portal, which handles repair requests, personal information, and housing applications, supplemented by a physical counter and telephone support during office hours and 24/7 online availability. Listings are distributed through Woongaard, the regional housing registry platform.

Thius generates revenue through recurring monthly rental income on its social housing portfolio under Dutch regulated rent rules, supplemented by service charges (including €1 per solar panel per month plus €1 for the inverter, capped at 9 panels) and commercial-space rentals. The company is currently executing a multi-year capital program including new construction projects (Het Gevlucht in Lienden with 10 homes delivered, Veilingkwartier in Tiel with 110 units, De Hoge Wei in Kesteren with delivery scheduled for early 2028, and Het Gildeland in Lienden with 70 homes), a sustainability program covering approximately 5,700 homes with three fixed construction partners (BAM Wonen, elkgroep, and Nijhuis), and strategic property acquisitions to expand its portfolio.
