# Social housing developments in the Netherlands > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/social-housing-developments-in-the-netherlands > Updated: 2026-09-12T07:59:47.000Z. Sources: 2. Developments: 2. Developments regarding social housing in the Netherlands involve both the repurposing of existing structures and the demolition of older properties. In The Hague, Haag Wonen has started transforming a former school on Boylestraat into 24 social rental homes. The project includes adding a residential floor to increase density while preserving the building’s facade. Half of these units are intended for youth transitioning from social shelters to independent living, supported by the care institution JIT. In a separate development, the housing corporation Havensteder plans to demolish 30 social rental homes on Meidoornsingel, citing that renovation and sustainability upgrades are “unprofitable.” This decision has met opposition from the political party SP, which is campaigning alongside residents for better maintenance. Havensteder intends to rebuild at least 90 homes on the site, consisting of 30 social housing units and a larger number of mid-segment rental homes. Concurrently, the corporation Hef Wonen is attempting to demonstrate that renovating similar single-family homes is a viable alternative to demolition in the Schiebroek Zuid area. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-12: Havensteder plans demolition of 30 social rental homes Housing corporation Havensteder plans to demolish 30 social rental homes on Meidoornsingel, citing high renovation costs, despite protests from local political groups and residents. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/havensteder-plans-demolition-of-30-social-rental-homes ### 2026-08-17: Haag Wonen begins school transformation into social housing Haag Wonen has started converting a former school in The Hague's Valkenboskwartier into 24 social rental homes, including specialized housing for youth transitioning to independent living. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/haag-wonen-begins-school-transformation-into-social-housing --- Cite as: Social housing developments in the Netherlands.
