Revenue model

1. Municipal funding (Jeugdwet - Youth Act): Services for children and youth under 18 are funded by municipalities through the Youth Act (Jeugdwet). There is no personal contribution required for youth services. The municipality where the client resides pays for the services.
2. Municipal funding (WMO - Social Support Act): Home-based assistance for adults 18+ under the Social Support Act (WMO) may require a personal contribution. These rates can be requested from the municipality. STERK! supports clients during the transition from youth (18-) to adult (18+) financing.
3. Transition support funding: Support provided during the transition from youth healthcare financing to adult healthcare financing, which often changes between municipalities.
