Help with Homelessness

Being homeless is a life-altering experience and can happen to anyone. You might lose your home, stay with family or friends temporarily, or not have a permanent place to live.

In that case, you can get help. The type of help available depends on your situation. Click below on the situation that applies to you and find out what support is available.

Are you afraid of losing your home?

Are you about to lose your home? For example, because your landlord or bank has told you that you have to leave. Contact Voorschoten voor Elkaar right away. They’ll work with you to determine what kind of help you need. Sometimes homelessness can be prevented.
