Netherlands rolls out sustainable housing upgrades and new migrant apartments

In Dordrecht, the renovation of 48 homes in the Crabbehof district is nearing completion. The upgrades include new window frames, HR++‑glass, and a connection to HVC’s warm‑net, making the dwellings gas‑free and more energy‑efficient. The project marked the 13,000th connection to the HVC network and is part of a broader effort to improve social rental housing in the area.

In the municipality of Drechterland, officials approved a permit to build a loading pit and eight apartments for labor migrants on Torenweg in Venhuizen. The decision, issued on 9 July 2026, outlines the procedural steps for interested parties to lodge objections within six weeks.
