Municipality investigates two locations for housing status holders
The municipality of Hilvarenbeek is lagging behind in housing status holders. To catch up, the college will further investigate two locations: Groot Loo and Tilburgseweg 2a.
What will happen?
- Groot Loo is being investigated for temporary housing for a mix of target groups, including status holders.
- Tilburgseweg 2a is being investigated as a possible transit location for status holders.
We are investigating, among other things, the spatial possibilities, renovation, and feasibility. This will take approximately half a year. After that, the college will decide whether the locations can actually be developed.
What's next?
The municipality will start the investigations quickly. There will also be a sounding board group for each investigation location, in which at least five residents will participate. They will think along with the plans from the beginning. Residents have received an invitation for this. If a location is actually developed, there will also be a plan for civic integration, guidance, and integration of the new residents.
Supervision from the province
The province of Noord-Brabant assessed the municipality on January 21, 2026, on the housing of status holders. We have met the assignment of 2025 and caught up with part of the backlog. However, there is still a backlog of 30 status holders, which means that the supervision judgment remains “does not meet.” This means that we remain under active supervision.
