Stichting Sociale Teams Borger-Odoorn

What Stichting Sociale Teams Borger-Odoorn does

Stichting Sociale Teams Borger-Odoorn is a Dutch civil-law foundation (stichting) established in 2015 that delivers integrated social care and support services to all residents of the Borger-Odoorn municipality in the province of Drenthe. The organization operates three neighborhood-based social teams — het Veenland in Nieuw-Buinen, de Monden in Valthermond, and de Hondsrug in Borger — each acting as a single point of contact across care, welfare, employment, finances, housing, and family matters. A central Ondersteunend Team (Support Team) and a jointly operated Financieel Team (with Welzijnsorganisatie Andes) provide administrative, operational, and financial guidance capacity, and a Dialoograad (Dialogue Council) channels resident perspective into service design.

The service model is anchored by the Regenboogmodel (Rainbow Model) needs-assessment framework and a "one household, one plan, one coordinator" (één gezin, één plan, één regisseur) philosophy. Access channels include a free national telephone line (0800-2009), online contact forms, scheduled walk-in hours at neighborhood rooms (buurtkamers), and home visits (keukentafelgesprek). Service lines span social work and counseling, Jeugdhulp (youth assistance), work and participation coaching, financial coaching and the seven-session Geld en Grip training, PGB (personal budget) administration, Wmo-based household help and assistive devices, and maatschappelijke begeleiding for Ukrainian displaced persons. Prevention workers with lived experience support social workers in field-level engagement. The Voorzieningenwijzer portal enables self-service eligibility checks, the mandatory Meldcode Huiselijk Geweld protocol governs domestic-violence reporting, and the Drentse Verwijsindex coordinates multi-professional youth support.

Revenue is derived primarily from annual commissioning agreements with the municipality of Borger-Odoorn, which is the sole opdrachtgever under the foundation's statutes. Supplementary revenue comes from the European Social Fund (ESF+ 2021-2027) for labor-market reintegration and the European Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) for a project creating 300 language-rich workplaces for newcomers in Drenthe. Services are free to residents at point of use; for Wmo services, residents pay a CAK-administered abonnementstarief. Governance comprises a sole director (Rensina van der Velde) and a three-member Supervisory Board chaired by Leo Wanders.
