Income Limits for Social Housing in Zoetermeer

The income limit determines whether you qualify for social housing in Zoetermeer. In 2024, the maximum is €47,699 for a single person and €52,671 for a multi-person household (reference date 2022). These limits are established in the Housing Act and are indexed annually by the ministry. Does your income exceed this limit? Then you do not qualify for social housing with housing associations such as Vidomes or Mozaïek Wonen, unless you have urgency or fall under the Zoetermeer starters scheme. Check your qualifying income via the Tax Authorities and have it verified by the housing association with the Valued Income. Exceptions exist for AOW pensioners, social assistance recipients with allowances and those on minimum income. In Zoetermeer, a growth centre near The Hague, demand for social housing is high due to commuters and families; there is no separate reserve pool for middle incomes as in Rotterdam or Utrecht, but there is a local urgency procedure for status holders and divorced parents. Report changes in your income timely to the municipality of Zoetermeer to maintain your registration. Fraud leads to exclusion for 4 years from the housing market regulation. Use the SVB calculation tool for a calculation and register via WoningNet Zoetermeer. This way you avoid problems during allocation or awarding in neighbourhoods such as Seghwaert or Rokkeveense Zoom. (218 words)
