Priority for key workers
Vesteda is committed to helping key workers find affordable housing in their own preferred city.
Priority project de Aker, Amsterdam
Many people struggle to find affordable housing in Amsterdam. Among Amsterdam's house hunters are many key workers: teachers, care workers and police officers.
Because of their profession, it is important that they can live near their workplace. We would like to help them find affordable housing in their own city.
For this reason we are starting a pilot.
In 2022, all key workers will have priority in securing affordable housing in the Middenveldse Akerpolder in Amsterdam Nieuw West.
Who are the keyworkers?
The municipality of Amsterdam has published a list of professions that fall under the term "keyworker": teachers in primary (special) education, teachers in secondary education (first or second grade), nurses, carers, family coaches for young people, counselors in care for the disabled, doctors, pharmacists and surgery assistants, nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists and police officers. This list may, of course, be modified over time.
