Successful pilot program to continue: career transition counselor to remain active in Voorschoten
Seniors in Voorschoten will continue to have access to the assistance of a relocation agent in the coming years. The municipalities and housing authorities in the Leiden region are turning the successful pilot program into a permanent partnership. This ensures that personalized support remains available to seniors who wish to move to a home that better suits their situation.
Many seniors are happy in their current homes, but face practical questions or uncertainties when they consider moving. The Doorstroommakelaar offers personalized guidance throughout this process—from discussing housing preferences to helping find a suitable home and managing the move itself.
This approach benefits both seniors and other home seekers. When a senior moves to a home that better suits their needs, a larger home often becomes available for families. In this way, the Doorstroommakelaar helps ensure better use of the existing housing stock.
The pilot program shows that this personalized assistance works. In the region, 82 seniors were helped to find suitable housing. In Voorschoten, ten residents took advantage of the program. Their moves made larger homes available for new residents.
