Opvang Lichtpunten BV

What Opvang Lichtpunten BV does

Opvang Lichtpunten BV is a small-scale residential care provider founded in December 2009 by Ivonne Licht and operating from two connected but separate sheltered-living houses on Ugchelseweg 35-37 in Apeldoorn, Netherlands. The organization delivers 24-hour supervised housing, individual mentorship, crisis accommodation, and ambulatory aftercare for young people aged 16–28 from Apeldoorn and surrounding areas who face homelessness, family breakdown, psychosocial issues, or transitions out of institutional care. Service breadth spans Beschermd Wonen (Protected Living), Crisisopvang (Crisis Care), Ambulante Begeleiding (Ambulatory Guidance/Nazorg), observation, room training (kamertraining), bridging (overbrugging), recovery, reintegration, and mediation — all delivered under one organizational roof with a deliberate small-scale, homelike design philosophy.

The underlying operating model is human-delivered and has no proprietary technology platform, software product, app, or API. Day-to-day service delivery rests on named staff mentors supported by long-tenured personnel (e.g., Mirjam with 22 years of tenure, Ingrid since 2014), structured weekly house meetings, a monthly Clients' Council (Cliëntenraad), and joint activities such as shared meals. The organization has no disclosed AI/ML tooling, digital product surface, or tech-enabled scaling mechanism; quality assurance is evidenced through HKZ certification (valid through 18 March 2029), BVKZ branch membership, SBB Erkend Leerbedrijf status (certificate 100039005), and GDPR-aligned privacy controls via Klachtenportaal Zorg registration (code 6733).

Revenue is generated almost entirely through Dutch government-funded care pathways: WMO Beschikkingen, Jeugdzorg beschikkingen, and Personal Budget (PGB) arrangements. Intake is referral-led — coming from municipalities, Zorgketen coordination meetings, youth protection services, schools, healthcare providers, and direct family/self-referrals — followed by phone screening, personal intake interview, and guided tour; placement is voluntary. No public pricing is disclosed and rates are determined through the funding mechanisms rather than direct billing. Headcount is approximately five with several part-time and long-tenured staff, two physical facilities, and operations confined to the Apeldoorn region, characterizing the company as a stable founder-owned micro-operator in a regulated niche.
