One Login for All Social Housing in Groningen From November
From November 3, all social housing in the province moves to Groningen Huurt: one registration and app for all associations.
Before we begin, a quick shoutout to our sponsor, Signaal:
Looking for housing in the Netherlands?
Signaal helps you skip the endless scrolling by tracking new listings from trusted platforms and alerting you when something matches your needs, all in one easy-to-use app.
From November 3, 2025, every social-rent home from all housing associations in the province will be listed in one place: Groningen Huurt (groningenhuurt.nl). The platform runs on DAK (WoningNet), so you register once and can reply to homes across the whole province.
Current registrations and waiting time
If you’re already registered (for example with WoningNet or Thuiskompas), your account is migrated automatically and your longest registration time is kept. Expect a welcome email in the week of November 3; check spam if you don’t see it.
Groningen’s waiting times remain significant (the municipal council noted 2.9 years on average in 2023, and many homes go to urgent cases first), so keeping your accrued time matters.
Logos already shown include Acantus, Nijestee, Lefier, De Huismeesters, Patrimonium, Wierden & Borgen, Woonborg, Wold & Waard, Goud Wonen, Groninger Huis, Woonzorg Nederland, with all corporations in the province joining. Listings will move from the various “Mijn DAK” pages to Groningen Huurt on launch day.
Urgency and fees
Existing urgency declarations carry over if they are still valid after November 3. Groningen will run two urgency routes under the Groningen Huurt umbrella (city and Ommelanden), aligned with the municipality’s rules and Woonurgentie Groningen. A new registration costs €19 once, plus €10 per year; existing users pay the €10 annual renewal.
Today, people often juggle multiple portals (e.g., WoningNet and Thuiskompas). From November, one account and one app make searching simpler and more transparent across the whole province. For anyone already in the queue, nothing is lost and your longest registration time stays.
