Municipality of Voorst to place temporary housing units for status holders on municipal land in Twello
The municipal executive board (college van burgemeester en wethouders) yesterday designated a municipal plot on Koningin Julianastraat in Twello for the temporary placement of four housing units for a period of five years. The units will be used to accommodate status holders (newly arrived families) and/or Ukrainian refugees. Since alternative locations are currently unavailable, the executive board has opted for this form of flexible housing.
Newly arrived families
The municipality of Voorst expects several newly arrived families this year. To provide them with immediate shelter upon arrival in the Netherlands, it is necessary to deploy flexible housing now until they can transition to regular housing. The temporary units are primarily intended for newly arrived families. However, it is also possible that Ukrainian refugees may be accommodated in these units.
Five-year deployment period
The executive board has chosen a deployment period of five years, as the municipality expects housing pressure for status holders and Ukrainian refugees to remain high during this time. After four to five years, an assessment will be made whether extension is desirable based on new insights. Any extension would require a new permit procedure.
