Wooninc. is a housing association based in Eindhoven, serving the Eindhoven metropolitan region. Its registered address and main office are at Winston Churchilllaan 87 in Eindhoven. The organisation describes its work as providing good housing and supporting an inclusive society in the region.45
Wooninc. develops, manages and rents homes, with a core focus on affordable social housing. It also provides housing for other groups, including through mid-market rentals offered by its subsidiary Stayinc.59 A particular area of expertise is housing for older people: almost half of Wooninc.’s housing stock is described as especially suitable for seniors, and its Wooninc.Plus concept supports independent living alongside opportunities for meeting others, safety and wellbeing.4
The association’s roots go back to 28 October 1919, when Helpt U zelf door Samenwerking—an early predecessor—was established to help people who could not secure housing for themselves.413 Wooninc. has since grown through mergers and acquisitions. Its history page reports more than 12,500 rental units in the region; figures can vary by reporting date and by whether associated entities are included.45
Wooninc.’s current managing director and board member is Angela Pijnenburg.811 The association operates across the Eindhoven region rather than nationally: its 2023 annual report recorded homes in 13 municipalities, with the largest concentration in Eindhoven.5 In January 2026, Wooninc. and Nuenen-based housing association Helpt Elkander merged and continued under the Wooninc. name.12
