Assistance for the Homeless and Those Without a Roof Over Their Heads

It can happen to anyone: finding yourself without a place to live. For example, due to a conflict at home, a breakup or divorce, the death of a loved one, or the loss of income and a job.

Are you homeless or at risk of becoming homeless? Are you living on the street? Are you staying with family, friends, or acquaintances and don’t have a permanent place to live? See below to find out what options are available for your situation.

Are you homeless, or are you at risk of becoming homeless within 4 weeks?

• Please contact the Central Reception Desk for assistance or shelter. They will assess what is appropriate for your situation, and if possible, refer you to appropriate assistance or a temporary shelter or place to stay.
• Do you need help with forms, allowances, or applying for benefits? Please contact Surplus’s Money & Legal team. 

Are you at risk of becoming homeless in more than 4 weeks? Or are you staying (temporarily) with family, friends, or acquaintances?

Please contact Surplus’s social work department. They’ll be happy to help you find a solution.

Please note: Social workers are there to help you find solutions to your housing problems. They have no influence over the allocation of housing units.

What can I do on my own to find a place to live?

There are several ways to arrange (temporary) housing. For example, you can:

• Living with a friend, partner, or family member.
• Register with Klik voor wonen and actively respond to their housing listings.

Are you under 18 and homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless?

• Try to find (temporary) shelter with a friend or family member.
• Please contact the Moerdijk Center for Youth and Family (CJG). They cannot arrange housing for you, but they are happy to help you figure things out.
• Would you rather talk to someone at school? Discuss it with your mentor or school social worker.
