Temporary Housing After Eviction Order in Delft

An eviction order in Delft can lead to acute homelessness. The Municipality of Delft is obliged to provide temporary shelter via the Social Support Act (Wmo) and the local homeless policy. Report immediately to the Wmo counter of the Municipality of Delft if you have nowhere to go; they coordinate with the COA for asylum shelter if necessary. Tenants with children, health issues, or low income receive priority for priority declarations from Delft housing associations such as Vestia and Trivire. Step 1: within 24 hours after eviction, report to the social team of the Municipality of Delft via 14 015 or the Digital Counter. They assess your situation on site and assign emergency shelter, such as in hotels on Phoenixstraat, crisis emergency shelter in the Poptahof neighbourhood, or temporary places via the Salvation Army. Costs are reimbursed until you find a new rental property via Woningnet Delft or the urgent waiting list. Landlords may be required to contribute to alternative housing under the Delft Housing Ordinance. Note: do not remain in the property after the deadline, otherwise you risk fines from the bailiff or municipality. Actively search via the Woningplatform Delft or private real estate agents in the city. Example: a Delft family with young children received 3 months of emergency shelter in a B&B after eviction and secured a social rental property in the Buitenhof neighbourhood via priority. Document everything with photos and correspondence for possible damage claims against the landlord at the District Court in The Hague. Legal assistance is available via the Juridisch Loket Delft or pro bono lawyers at the Rechtswinkel in the city. This safety net from the Municipality of Delft prevents homelessness and provides time for recovery in a new home.
