1 min leestijd

In appropriate allocation, urgent cases take priority, such as homeless people, victims of domestic violence, or people with medical urgency. Municipalities allocate urgent housing via a registration system. You must demonstrate why your situation is urgent, with medical certificates or police statements.

Housing associations must allocate 80% of homes appropriately, but urgency can override this. Without urgency, registration time on WoningNet or similar systems applies. Objection to refusal? Submit within 6 weeks to the municipality. The Appropriate Urgent Allocation Act regulates this. Successful claims often lead to priority within 3 months. Note: urgency is temporary, usually 2 years. Combine with appropriateness checks on family and health for the best match.
