To support housing corporations in preparing their Multi-Year Budget (MJB) and the dPi 2025, the Authority for Housing Corporations (Aw) has established the Guideline Multi-Year Budget. Corporations know what expectations the Aw has for the MJB of 2026 and the corresponding dPi 2025 with this guideline.
The Aw sees that previous guidelines have contributed to better budgets. For example, there is more frequent use of variants and scenarios, allowing corporations to be better prepared for changing circumstances.
Rent Freeze
The announcement of the rent freeze in the Spring Memorandum has had a significant impact on the corporate sector. Even now that this proposed law has been withdrawn, it affects the perspective from corporations on affordability and the investment task. However, the social housing task remains just as large. This requires a wise and simultaneously uncompromising use of the corporations resources. Although it may seem more attractive to be more cautious, the Aw will be strict about justification and accountability regarding additional buffers.
Realistic Budgets and Scenarios
Furthermore, renewed attention is given to realism and working with scenarios. Realistic budgets are essential right now to discuss the choices that corporations make with their stakeholders and the social housing consequences thereof. New in the 2025 guideline is that the Aw provides several concrete expectations that contribute to a realistic and feasible budget. The aforementioned topics will also be addressed in the conversations that the Aw has with corporations about their social housing task, the multi-year budget, and risk management.
