With www.thuisinzwolle.nl, visitors gain access to practical information, concrete tips, and tools to adapt their current home or to look for a home that better suits their wishes and life phase. One of the main features is the quick scan, which provides insight into your personal housing situation in a few clicks and immediately shows possible next steps.
Alderman Dorrit de Jong emphasizes the importance of thinking about housing early on:
“Many residents have a desire to move, want to make their home future-proof, or are orienting themselves for the long term but do not know where to start. With (T)huis in Zwolle, we offer reliable information and directly connect people with appropriate support. This way, we help residents maintain control over their living and living situation.”
With (T)huis in Zwolle, the municipality wants to meet a growing need: more and more residents want to orient themselves on comfortable and safe living but lack overview. By bringing all relevant and fragmented information and support together in one digital place, it becomes clearer when you want to take steps and make choices that fit the future.
The platform goes beyond just providing information. Residents can also get in direct contact with an independent Housing Advisor from the municipality of Zwolle via the website. The advisor thinks along, discusses possibilities in the current home, or explores together with the resident which other forms of housing fit better. Moreover, the website offers inspiring experience stories and information about financial schemes and local initiatives.
Launch aligns with broader approach to accelerate housing market flow
The municipality of Zwolle works in the action plan Better Utilization of the Existing Housing Stock together with housing corporations and other partners to stimulate housing market flow. Recently, city discussions have been held in various Zwolle neighborhoods. There is a need for more information about homes and how to better utilize your home. Additionally, the Housing Advisor has had conversations with 86 residents. So far, this has resulted in 7 relocations. The Housing Advisor will continue in 2026 as well.
Housing corporations in Zwolle have recently collaborated more intensively around the deployment of flow coaches in social housing to stimulate flow. Homes are also rented with priority to movers who leave a larger home. Starting in January, we will introduce a satisfaction guarantee within social housing, where tenants moving to a smaller home retain their registration duration. This helps lower the threshold to move. Additionally, in the coming years, more construction with flow quality will take place in existing neighborhoods such as the Aa-landen.
