The future of Dutch housing policy (part 3)
2020-10-20 10:33:00
Over the past ten years, an extensive social debate has taken place about the effectiveness of the housing policy. The debate has resulted in broadly shared views on possible policy reforms to improve the functioning of the housing market. This includes phasing out subsidization of homeownership, striving for competitive rents, stimulating the middle segment of the rental sector and a stronger focus of the corporate sector housing on low-income households. Preconditions are accessibility and affordability for lower incomes. When formulating policy, a distinction must be made between short-term and long-term effects. With the short term, we mean the period from 2017 to 2021. With the long term, we mean the situation in the new long-term equilibrium between supply and demand in the housing market. Due to the stock nature of houses, such a balance is only reached after several decades.
