Het Kwaliteitskader Housing First is ontwikkeld om Housing First-praktijken te ondersteunen bij het versterken van hun werkwijze. Het kader helpt bij het reflecteren op hoe trouw de uitvoering is aan de kernprincipes van Housing First. Housing First is een bewezen effectieve aanpak voor de groep dakloze mensen met complexe, meervoudige problematiek. De effectiviteit van deze aanpak hangt sterk af van de mate waarin de kernprincipes worden nageleefd. Housing First werkt het beste als de kernprincipes volledig en consequent worden toegepast. Onderzoek toont aan dat de effectiviteit van Housing First afneemt zodra er wordt afgeweken van de kernprincipes. Het trouw blijven aan deze principes is daarom essentieel voor de kwaliteit en impact van de Housing First-praktijk.

Dit rapport is een verslag van een verkennend onderzoek naar netwerkondersteuning bij dak- en thuisloze mensen in Amsterdam en Haarlem. Dit onderzoek is onderdeel van het tweejarige onderzoeksproject ‘Social Network First?’, dat als doel heeft inzicht te krijgen of en in welke vorm de uit de ggz afkomstige Resource-methode werkt bij dak- en thuisloze mensen. Het onderzoek wordt uitgevoerd door de lectoraten Empowerment & Professionalisering van Hogeschool Inholland en Stedelijk Sociaal Werk van de Hogeschool van Amsterdam, in samenwerking met de opvangorganisaties HVO-Querido, Leger des Heils, PerMens en Cordaan. In dit rapport ligt de focus op 1) de doelen die professionals, dakloze mensen en hun naasten denken te bereiken met netwerkondersteuning, 2) wat er in hun beleving en ervaring nodig is om een steungroep op te zetten en 3) hoe professionals denken samen met de client en de steungroep de eigen regie van de client te kunnen versterken.

In deze verkennende studie beschrijven we welke doelen er volgens professionals, dak- en thuisloze mensen en naasten bereikt kunnen worden met netwerkondersteuning. Ook wordt besproken wat volgens betrokkenen nodig is om een steungroep op te zetten en hoe hiermee de eigen regie van de dak- en thuisloze mensen kan worden versterkt. In de praktijk blijkt de resource-methodiek – een methode afkomstig uit de GGZ om het netwerk te betrekken – moeilijk inzetbaar bij de doelgroep van dak- en thuisloze mensen. Opvangorganisaties en het onderzoeksproject ‘Social Network First?’ zijn gestart met het idee van resource-methodiek , maar nu wordt netwerkondersteuning aan deze doelgroep in een andere vorm aangeboden. Het rapport is gebaseerd op 25 interviews met professionals, dak- en thuisloze mensen en hun naasten in Amsterdam en Haarlem.

Hoe kunnen professionals het netwerk van mensen die dak- of thuisloos zijn betrekken bij de hulpverlening en samenwerken met dit netwerk? Dit is onderzocht in het onderzoek Social Network First? – een samenwerking van HVO-Querido, Hogeschool Inholland, Hogeschool van Amsterdam en opvangorganisaties in Amsterdam en Haarlem. In deze factsheet lees je waarom en hoe netwerkondersteuning ingezet kan worden in de maatschappelijke opvang.

Purpose - Housing associations make too small a contribution to society, the government has to step in too frequently because of maladministration, and the associations’ executives are often unaware of the far-reaching impact of their decisions. These are the conclusions of new academic research conducted by Jan Veuger of Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM). In his dissertation, he asserts that in numerous cases there is no correlation between social and financial objectives. The Dutch House of Representatives debated the results of the report Ver van huis from the Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry on Housing Associations in early December 2014. Design/methodology/approach -After extensive exploration of the literature and PhD studies on the period from 2005-2009, the research design inspired based on the grounded theory, which has a certain bias as a result of the extensive literature study. In the line of thinking of the grounded theory, interviews with directors more or less contracted uninhibited according to a narrative method. Afterwards these interviews, independent of the researcher, thematic and labeled by a single Delphi method be submitted to an expert group which created a storyline. The results of this Delphi method have been submitted to a peer group of directors. Then these conclusions in a survey presented to 60 selected directors and the subsequent conclusions. There has thus been more than a triangulation of research than just interviews, Delphi method and survey. Hypotheses are thereby omitted because of the difficulty of fitting in within the chosen research design inspired by grounded theory. Findings -Why thisqualitative thesis 'Control of housing associations in consistency with social values'? To understand and to discover patterns about the how and why of the functioning of corporations in society as they do now. This qualitative study is about the search for ideas, backgrounds, motives, resistors and motives and is therefore suitable for the following question: witch contradictions are there in the social values that underlie housing associations that affect the way the are governed? The overall summary conclusions to answer the central question is: Directors, at the highest level thinking about how to deal with values ensure they drive on their own, monitor, know the consequences and take responsibility. Research limitations/implications - At his request Stef Blok, Minister for Housing and Kingdom Relations, has received the thesis Material Immaterial (Veuger 2014) on December 4, 2014. On December 11, 2014, the Minister decided to change its proposed policy through the establishment of an inspection model in which the financial and social objectives of the corporations are tested and assured, with the Minister as the final responsible. The parliament has unanimously agreed. Originality/value - My contribution to science is also showing patterns of Board behavior, whether or not in conjunction with societal and financial values of housing associations. This has not been previously investigated or established. This contribution complements include studies on culture of housing associations (Dreimuller 2008 and Sinke 2014) or only driver behavior (Heemskerk 2013) or history of housing corporations (Beekers 2012) or about the behavior of housing associations (Koolma 2009)

Hoe betrek je als professional naasten bij een cliënt die dak- en thuisloos is? Voor welke doelen zou een sterk netwerk rondom de cliënt eigenlijk goed zijn? En hoe werken professionals van verschillende organisaties en naasten dan samen ter ondersteuning van een cliënt? Welke vaardigheden en kennis heeft de professional nodig om naasten te ondersteunen? En werkt dat hetzelfde in verschillende stedelijke contexten, of zijn daarin verschillen?

Senior co-housing communities offer an in-between solution for older people who do not want to live in an institutional setting but prefer the company of their age peers. Residents of co-housing communities live in their own apartments but undertake activities together and support one another. This paper adds to the literature by scrutinizing the benefits and drawbacks of senior co-housing, with special focus on the forms and limits of social support and the implications for the experience of loneliness. Qualitative fieldwork was conducted in eight co-housing communities in the Netherlands, consisting of document analysis, interviews, focus groups, and observations. The research shows that co-housing communities offer social contacts, social control, and instrumental and emotional support. Residents set boundaries regarding the frequency and intensity of support. The provided support partly relieves residents’ adult children from caregiving duties but does not substitute formal and informal care. Due to their access to contacts and support, few residents experience social loneliness. Co-housing communities can potentially also alleviate emotional loneliness, but currently, this happens to a limited degree. The paper concludes with practical recommendations for enhancing the benefits and reducing the drawbacks of senior co-housing. Original article at MDPI; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph16193776

This paper presents work aimed at improved organization and performance of production in housing renovation projects. The purpose is to explore and demonstrate the potential of lean work organization and industrialized product technology to improve workflow and productive time. The research included selected case studies that have been found to implement lean work organization and industrialized product technology in an experimental setting. Adjustments to the work organization and construction technology have been implemented on site. The effects of the adjustments have been measured and were reviewed with operatives and managers. The data have been collected and analyzed, in comparison to traditional settings. Two projects were studied. The first case implied am application of lean work organization in which labor was reorganized redistributing and balancing operations among operatives of different trades. In the second case industrialized solution for prefabricated installation of prefabricated roofs. In both cases the labor productivity increased substantially compared to traditional situations. Although the limited number of cases, both situations appeared to be representative for other housing projects. This has led to conclusions extrapolated from both cases applicable to other projects, and contribution to the knowledge to improve production in construction. Vrijhoef, R.

BackgroundTo reduce homelessness, it is important to gain a better understanding of the differences between homeless people who remain in institutions and those who gain and can sustain independent housing. This longitudinal study explores differences in housing transitions and differences in changes in health and self-determination between formerly homeless people still living in institutions 2.5 years later and those now living in independent housing in the Netherlands.MethodsThis study mapped the housing transitions of 263 participants from when they entered the social relief system (SRS) to 2.5 years later when they were in independent housing or institutions. These individuals were compared at the 2.5-year mark in terms of gender, age and retrospectively in terms of duration of homelessness. They were also compared with regard to changes in psychological distress, perceived health, substance use and self-determination.ResultsTwo and a half years after entering the SRS, 81% of participants were independently housed and 19% still lived in institutions. People in institutions had a longer lifetime duration of homelessness, were more often men, and their number of days of alcohol use had decreased significantly more, whereas independently housed people had shown a significant increase in their sense of autonomy and relatedness.ConclusionFormerly homeless people living in independent housing and in institutions show few health-related differences 2.5 years after entering the SRS, but changes in autonomy and relatedness are distinctly more prevalent, after the same period of time, in those who are independently housed.
