Woonzorg Nederland is a non-profit housing association headquartered near Amsterdam, specializing in accommodations for seniors and people with care needs. The organization was formed in 1996 from the merger of several foundations focused on elderly housing and underwent further consolidation in 2000. It operates broadly across the Netherlands, managing over 40,000 homes in 170 municipalities and focusing its efforts on individuals aged 55 and older, including those requiring support due to health or mobility limitations.
The organization’s portfolio includes a mix of social rental apartments, independent living units, and homes partnered with care providers, with the vast majority offered below regulated rent caps to ensure affordability. Woonzorg Nederland’s estate is valued at approximately €2.5 billion, with annual revenues around €290 million and a staff count exceeding 400.
Recent projects illustrate the association’s active approach: in Amsterdam's Amstelkwartier, it is developing homes for older adults, while in the K-midden area new care complexes and independent units cater to seniors. Confronted with the growing need for elderly accommodation and care integration, the organization strategically invests in new builds, sustainability improvements, and conversion projects, aiming to add thousands of new suitable units by 2035.
Woonzorg Nederland works closely with care organizations, municipalities, and other partners to balance housing provision, quality of life, and community building, while adapting to increasing demands and sector-wide financial pressures. Its focus remains on enabling seniors to live independently for as long as possible in safe, suitable environments.
