Appropriate Allocation Social Housing Rules in Tilburg

Appropriate allocation requires housing corporations in Tilburg, such as WonenBreburgh and Zayaz, to allocate 80-95% of social rental housing based on income and household size. This follows from the Housing Act (article 2.26). A dwelling is 'appropriate' if the rent does not exceed 30% of your income and matches your family composition. In case of deviation, 10% must go to urgency cases, for example for status holders or Tilburg homeless via the Wmo counter. Tenants in Tilburg have input through the Tenants' Council Tilburg and corporation platforms. The municipality of Tilburg strictly monitors this via the local dashboard on tilburg.nl/wonen, with annual reports on neighborhoods such as Oud-Zuid and Het Zand. Does the rent exceed the liberalisation threshold (€ 879 in 2024)? Then no housing permit is required, but in Tilburg a local allocation policy applies for urgency. Check allocation reports from corporations for transparency. In case of violation, you can complain to the Housing Authority or the Tilburg Tenants' Union. This rule combats segregation in growth neighborhoods such as Reeshof and promotes affordable housing amid the Tilburg housing shortage. Example: a single person with € 30,000 income in Tilburg gets a maximum rent of € 600, ideal for starter apartments in the Spoorzone. Consult your Tilburg corporation for personal calculations and the Tilburg Housing Action Plan.
