A €60 million Fonds Coöperatief Wonen, created by an earlier SP amendment, will open for applications from housing cooperatives at the end of 2026. The Tweede Kamer this week approved the Wet bevordering wooncoöperaties, which aims to remove financing obstacles by clarifying the cooperative’s legal-entity status for lenders and requires municipalities to address cooperatives in their housing plans. Cooplink’s Mustapha Eaisaouiyen estimates cooperatives could eventually deliver 10% of the 100,000 new homes targeted annually.
