TEMPORARY HOUSING
FOR THE HOMELESS STUDENTS OF TILBURG
PARTNERED WITH
TILBURG'S SHORTAGE OF HOUSING
Tilburg is estimated to have around 200 homeless students by the start of every semester. Some are lucky to find emergency accommodations, while others need to quit their studies before even starting. These numbers have only gotten worse over the years, therefore, if you can provide any sort of housing (from couches and air mattresses to studios and spare rooms), please fill in our form and make a difference to someone.
WHAT WE DO
Our goal is to support as many students in Tilburg as we can.
FIND MATCHES
We match homeless students with residents who are willing to host them for up to 3 months.
ATTEND VIEWINGS
We offer to represent students who are unable to attend viewings themselves.
STAY ACTIVE
We ensure to work closely with everyone, trying to answer all questions within a day.
ABOUT STUDENT PARTY SAM
SHT is an initiative in collaboration with Student Party SAM.
SAM is a party in the university council which aims to represent all students of Tilburg University. The party values internationalisation of the university, but sees how students, both international and Dutch, have troubles finding proper housing. To excel at your studies, it is important to be able to live in a safe and welcoming environment. Therefore, SAM wants to take action and supports this initiative by being in close contact with the university in order to provide emergency housing for students. Furthermore, we as SAM want to set up a long term solution for this problem. Are you interested in thinking along with SAM? Please reach out! We are always open to new ideas. You can reach us at db@fractiesam.nl.
WANT US TO ATTEND YOUR VIEWING?
As a result of the current housing crisis, many international students are unable to leave their countries and, consequently, do not get the chance to attend Dutch viewings. We offer to become their representatives, raising their chances of finding accommodation and avoiding scammers.
