Drenthe Backs Rapid Rollout of Flex Homes to Meet National Target

Overview

• The national housing programme requires 7,500 flex homes to be delivered each year.
• Flex homes are temporary or movable units that can be built quickly and used for five to fifteen years or longer.
• These homes aim to ease pressure for starters, students, urgent seekers, status holders and labor migrants.
• Municipalities lead delivery, with Drenthe’s Impulsteam Wonen supporting them and housing corporations by sharing expertise and connecting partners.
• The approach pairs rapid modular building with converting empty offices or care facilities, prioritizing early resident involvement as nitrogen rules, rising costs and legal complexity slow some projects.
