The Hague has joined a national partnership intended to address unhealthy homes, energy poverty and related health problems.
The municipality signed the City Deal Gezond en duurzaam wonen in Leeuwarden on 29 October. The four-year collaboration brings together municipalities, provinces, national government, health insurers, knowledge organisations and social partners.
The aim is to develop and share practical approaches that connect housing improvements with health and financial security. For households facing several problems at once, these issues can be closely linked.
Rather than announcing a new universal grant, the City Deal provides a framework for cooperation and learning between organisations. The Hague says the partnership will help improve connections between care, social support and housing improvement.
Residents seeking immediate help should use the relevant municipal advice and support services; joining the City Deal does not itself establish individual eligibility for funding.
