Het Wereldhuis B.V.

What Het Wereldhuis B.V. does

Het Wereldhuis B.V. operates a single multicultural residential care facility in Deventer, Netherlands, providing 24-hour guided living for a maximum of eight adult residents. The organization's primary clientele are vulnerable individuals who arrived in the Netherlands as refugees, asylum seekers, foreigners, or victims of human trafficking and who have co-occurring psychiatric conditions, intellectual disabilities, developmental delays, or autism; a secondary cohort consists of Dutch nationals with similar clinical profiles. Service delivery is built around an eight-life-domain framework (social functioning, psychological functioning, finances, practical functioning, day activities, physical health, meaning/purpose, and housing) and includes Begeleid Wonen (residential guidance), Dagbesteding (day activities with Dutch language practice), and structured intake coordinated with the director.

The core product surface consists of three care lines and two support services: residential care, day activities, housing placement, an SBB-recognized internship program, and a volunteer coordination program. The underlying technology stack is essentially nil — the organization does not operate a proprietary software platform, mobile application, or API. Operations rely on standard website content, basic social media presence, and director-led intake processes. Privacy and data protection are handled in-house, with M. ter Doest serving as Data Beheerder.

The business model is a managed-services, government-funded care provider. Revenue flows through Dutch healthcare frameworks including WMO (Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning), Wlz/PGB (Wet langdurige zorg with personal budget), and RMA regulation. Residents must hold a valid indication under one of these streams to access services; there is no direct out-of-pocket consumer pricing. Acquisition is entirely referral-driven through COA, Menziz, RZA placement organizations, municipal authorities, and treatment providers. The company is a private Dutch BV with six employees, founder/director-led operations, and no disclosed funding, acquisitions, or external investment.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights2 records

Broad incumbents

• Cordaan: Amsterdam-based care organization providing housing, support, and care for elderly and people with intellectual disabilities or psychiatric needs, including small-scale residential locations. Comparable in offering 24-hour guided living under Dutch social-care frameworks, though at much larger scale and without explicit refugee specialization.
• Philadelphia Zorg: Major Dutch care organization supporting people with intellectual disabilities and autism, including residential guided living. Overlaps with Het Wereldhuis on the IDD/autism residential care model funded via Wlz/WMO, but lacks the refugee/migrant focus.
• ASVZ: Large Dutch care provider focused on people with intellectual disabilities and autism, running small-scale residential group homes (woongroepen) across the Netherlands. Closest direct structural parallel to Het Wereldhuis's residential IDD model, though ASVZ operates many more locations and without the refugee-trauma specialization.
• 's Heeren Loo: Large Dutch care provider for people with intellectual disabilities, offering residential and daytime support across many locations. Comparable to Het Wereldhuis in serving IDD populations under Dutch funding frameworks, but operates at far greater scale and without the explicit multicultural/refugee specialization.
• Leger des Heils Nederland: Salvation Army's Dutch operation providing social services, shelter, and care for vulnerable populations including refugees, homeless individuals, and people with psychiatric needs. Comparable to Het Wereldhuis's multicultural, vulnerable-population focus, though it operates broader welfare and shelter programs rather than a single IDD-focused residential site.
• RIBW Groep / RIBW.nl: Dutch network of Regionale Instellingen voor Beschermd Wonen providing residential and outpatient support for people with psychiatric vulnerabilities. Comparable to Het Wereldhuis on psychiatric residential care and WMO/Wlz funding, but oriented toward broader mental-health populations rather than IDD or refugees specifically.

Others

• Stichting Vluchtelingenwerk Nederland: Dutch council for refugees providing advocacy, legal aid, and integration support for asylum seekers and refugees. Not a care provider itself, but a thematic peer given Het Wereldhuis's refugee-focused resident population and its reliance on COA referral pathways.

Direct peers

• Trajectum: Dutch organization providing specialized residential care for people with complex behavioral, psychiatric, and intellectual disability needs, including those with forensic or trauma histories. Closely comparable to Het Wereldhuis in offering intensive small-scale 24-hour guided living for high-acuity, often-marginalized populations under Dutch funding frameworks.
• Stichting De Reeve: Small-scale Dutch care foundation offering guided residential living for vulnerable adults with psychiatric and/or intellectual disabilities, often via PGB pathways. Closest direct peer to Het Wereldhuis in being a small nonprofit/private site offering 24-hour multicultural-style residential care under Dutch funding frameworks.

Emerging players

• De Lindenhoeve / Juzt Begeleid Wonen: Small-scale Dutch providers operating protected residential settings (beschermde woonvormen) for people with IDD and psychiatric needs, often using PGB funding. Comparable operating model to Het Wereldhuis, though typically without the explicit refugee/migrant intake focus.
