What Goud Wonen does

Woningstichting Goud Wonen is a Dutch social housing corporation ('toegelaten instelling' under the Woningwet) that manages approximately 1,292 self-contained rental dwellings, 14 BOG/municipal units, 1 intramural care unit, and 37 garages (1,344 rental equivalents) in the municipality of Het Hogeland in the province of Groningen, with a statutory territory that also extends to Appingedam, Delfzijl, Loppersum, and Ten Boer. The foundation was formed on 1 January 2023 through a merger of predecessor organizations (succeeding entities including 'De Delthe'), is headquartered in Uithuizen, and employs 25 staff (21.0 FTE average) across Directie, Staf en beleid, Klant en wonen, Bedrijfsvoering, and Vastgoed departments. Its real estate portfolio was valued at €175.9 million (market value) at end-2025, with DAEB real estate at €170.1 million and non-DAEB real estate at €5.8 million.

Goud Wonen earns the substantial majority of its revenue from regulated DAEB social rental income (€9.78 million in 2025 at an average net rent of €610/month), supplemented by non-DAEB market-rate rents (€0.34 million) and capital support from the Nationaal Coördinator Groningen (NCG) under the 'Nij Begun' and Maatregel 29 grant schemes for the earthquake reinforcement mandate. The organization's core service lines are rental management, reactive and planned maintenance, sustainability upgrades (verduurzaming) targeting energy label A, and the versterkingsopgave — the demolition, rebuild, and reinforcement of approximately 400 units affected by gas-extraction-induced earthquakes in Uithuizen, Zandeweer, and Kantens, which it operates through partner Rizoem B.V. and in coordination with the G-13 and Kr8 alliances of regional housing corporations.

The business model is operationally defensive: rents are regulated below the liberalisation threshold, allocation runs through Goud Wonen's own registration system, and stakeholder governance is shared with gemeente Het Hogeland, two tenant organizations (Huurdersvereniging Goud Wonen and Huurdersvereniging De Delthe), and the supervisory Raad van Commissarissen. In 2026 the company is navigating a leadership transition — Harry Oosting departed on 1 April 2026 and Anja Kluiter started as interim bestuurder on 11 May 2026 — against a backdrop of negative ROE (-0.63% in 2025, improving from -2.60% in 2024), a sharp drop in solvability from 74.56% to 47.94% driven by property revaluations, and an interest coverage ratio of 0.55 below the 1.4 minimum, all reflecting a heavy investment cycle.

Revenue model

1. DAEB Rental Income: Rental income from approximately 1,292 self-contained homes and 14 business/municipal properties under the DAEB (social housing) framework, where rents are regulated below the liberalisation threshold. This is the dominant revenue stream. In 2025, DAEB rental revenue was €9.78 million. Huurderving wegens leegstand (vacancy loss) was €350,027.
2. Non-DAEB Rental Income: Rental income from market-rate (non-DAEB) residential units and commercial properties (approximately 14 BOG units and 1 intramural care unit). In 2025, non-DAEB rental revenue was approximately €336,771.
3. New Build Delivery Income: In 2025, 49 new units were delivered (Wilgenhof phase 1b Uithuizen: 22 units, Kooistraat phase 1 Kantens: 10 units, A. v/d Zielstraat phase 1 Zandeweer: 17 units). These are added to the rental portfolio, generating future recurring rental income.
4. NCG Reinforcement Subsidies: Grants from Nationaal Coördinator Groningen (NCG) for earthquake reinforcement and 'Nij Begun' subsidies (including Maatregel 29 for sustainability, approximately €9.4 million total allocated). These offset investment costs rather than generating direct revenue.
