Why do housing associations transfer money to each other? “See it as a form of solidarity within the sector,” explains a spokesperson for Aedes, the trade association for housing associations.
Corporations need to build and make more homes more sustainable, so that nationally and regionally has been agreed. “That can be many questions from corporations individually. They view ways to support each other.”
This is possible in different ways and this is also happening. “A corporation can not only transfer money, but also take out a loan for the other. Whether a corporation can build and manage the homes with the other. There are different constructions.”
The spokesperson expects this kind of collaborations, with the housing task in mind, to increase. Even if this will cost (a lot of) money. “Corporations are not companies with the aim of making a profit. They have the task of taking care of housing for people with lower incomes.”
