Living

Maybe you are now living happily in your house in Utrecht, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to continue living independently. For example, due to old age, physical or psychological complaints. It is also possible that you are no longer happy in your home due to problems with your neighbours. Maybe you cannot find a home in Utrecht and have no idea how to proceed. Or worse: you are in danger of becoming homeless. 

The neighborhood team can sometimes help

Unfortunately, the neighbourhood team cannot help you to get urgency or a home. We can support you around the theme of living with: Living on your own en Threatening homelessness.

The neighborhood team thinks along

Contact the neighbourhood team in your district. We are happy to think along with you about all these and other topics concerning housing. Unfortunately, we cannot arrange housing or an urgent declaration for you, but we have a lot of contact with other organisations in Utrecht that can hopefully help you further. Call, email or come by.
