Bysekretariatet Randers

What Bysekretariatet Randers does

Bysekretariatet Randers is a Danish non-profit housing social secretariat based in Randers, operating as part of Boligorganisationen Møllevænget & Storgaarden and implementing the boligsocial helhedsplan (housing social holistic plan) across seven designated social housing areas in Randers Nordby: Jennumparken, Glarbjergvej-området, Vangdalen, Energivej-området, Hermann Stillings Vej-området, Sjællandsgade-kvarteret, and parts of central Randers administered by RandersBolig and Lejerbo. The organization executes the four-year Helhedsplan 2025-2029 (launched 2025-08-01), succeeding the prior 2021-2025 plan, in close collaboration with Randers Kommune and housing organizations. Its mission is to prevent the formation of disadvantaged housing areas ('ghettos') and strengthen social cohesion between social housing and the wider city of Randers.

The organization's product portfolio consists of community-based social programs rather than technology platforms: employment programs (Job til mor targeting 45 mothers; En ny start for flere targeting 80 residents, 2023-2025), youth programs (My Way for ages 15-25; Klar, Parat, Leg with PlayPilotz role models ages 13-17; Unge og Demokrati), family support (Familieferie), cultural initiatives (Al Verdens Kunst; Grønne fællesskaber as a Landsbyggefonden national research project), and capital infrastructure (Badesø bathing lake on Nordre Fælled, 37 million DKK funded by A.P. Møller Fonden). Underlying delivery is community-embedded fieldwork via on-site staff at facilities including Caféen Flyvervej 5, supported by a community newsletter (Nordby Posten since 2009) and social media channels. The organization holds 1-10 employees.

The business model is entirely grant-funded with no commercial revenue: all programs are delivered free of charge to residents of the covered housing areas. Funding sources include Landsbyggefonden (the Danish National Building Fund), Den Sociale Kapitalfond, A.P. Møller Fonden, Slots- og Kulturstyrelsen, Ebbefos Fonden, LB Foreningens Uddelingsråd, and Randers Kommune. Distribution is direct-to-community through housing area facilities, schools, libraries, and partner sites; no external sales motion exists. The organization has no app, no API, no proprietary technology stack, and no defined pricing model.

Comparable as a major Danish social housing administration operating almennyttige boliger with associated community programs, though at national rather than single-city scale.

• KAB (Københavns Almindelige Boligselskab): One of Denmark's largest housing administrations, managing social housing across Copenhagen and broader Denmark. Comparable as a major Danish social housing operator administering almene boliger with social development programs, though at significantly larger scale and geographic footprint than Bysekretariatet.

Adjacent peer because Bysekretariatet's funding and operating framework (Landsbyggefonden, helhedsplan model) is shaped by BL's policy work and the broader Danish almene bolig system.
