Overview

Housing associations make too little a contribution to Society, the government has to step in too frequently because of maladministration, and the associations' executives are often unaware of the farreaching impact of their decisions. These are the conclusions of the new academic research conducted by Jan Veuger of Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM). In his dissertation, he asserts that in numerous cases there is no correlation between social and financial objectives. The Dutch House of Representatives debated the results of the report \"Ver van huis\" from the Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry on Housing Associations in early December 2014. After extensive exploration of the literature and PhD studies on the period from 2005-2009, the research design was inspired by the grounded theory, which has a certain bias as a result of the extensive literature study. In the line of thinking of the grounded theory, interviews with directors contacted were more or less uninhibited according to a narrative method. Afterwards, these interviews, independent of the researcher, thematic and labelled by a single Delphi method were submitted to an expert group which created a storyline.
