Housing corporations must be able to help each other financially to speed up housing. Minister of Housing and Spatial Planning Minister Mona Keijzer wants to adjust the rules for project aid for this. Housing corporations with sufficient investment space can then help a corporation with less financial space to get a new -build project off the ground. This is an estimated redistribution of up to € 300 million investment space within the corporation sector annually. The Internet consultation For the adjustment of the Decree on Admitted Institutions for Housing (BTIV), started today. Everyone can respond to the proposal until 1 September.
Housing corporations must invest € 110 billion in new construction, maintenance, sustainability and quality of life in the neighborhood in the period up to and including 2034, as agreed in the National Performance Agreements (NPA) and worked out in regional residential deals. Calculations show that the national task for housing associations is financially feasible, provided that housing associations work together and can help each other financially.
Region as a starting point
Changes to the BTIV must facilitate this cooperation, because housing associations no longer have to raise national money. Starting point becomes the region. For example, one or more housing associations can better help with targeted project support through an individual levy within the region. Nationally lifting only happens when other housing associations in the region cannot make a contribution sufficiently. It also becomes clearer which rules of housing associations must meet to request project support. Furthermore, there will be financial rules that determine which housing associations must pay if a national levy is made.
Internet consultation
Based on the reactions from the Internet consultationthe minister examines whether the project support instrument needs further adjustment. The new rules can enter into force from 1 July 2026.
