Priority Rules and Urgency in Appropriate Allocation in Rotterdam

In Rotterdam, urgent cases receive priority in appropriate allocation, such as homeless persons, victims of domestic violence or people with medical urgency. The Municipality of Rotterdam allocates urgent housing via the WoonnetRijnmond registration system. You must demonstrate your urgent situation with medical certificates, police statements or a report from the Rotterdam neighbourhood team. Housing associations in Rotterdam, such as Woonbron, Havensteder and TRIA, must allocate 80% of their homes appropriately, but urgency overrides this. Without urgency, your registration time with WoonnetRijnmond applies. In Rotterdam, there is extra attention for urgent status holders and victims of nuisance in neighbourhoods such as Rotterdam-South. Objection to refusal? Submit this within 6 weeks to the Rotterdam municipality via the Wmo counter. The Appropriate Allocation Act regulates this nationally, with local Rotterdam policy rules for extra priority in cases of medical need in the port city. Successful urgency claims often lead to priority within 3 months, sometimes accelerated via the Rotterdam urgent list. Note: urgency is temporary, usually 2 years, and Rotterdam applies strict appropriateness checks on family composition, health and income for the best match in neighbourhoods such as Charlois or Feijenoord.
