A committee is a group of people who work together on a specific topic or task. They discuss, contribute ideas, and use their knowledge and experience to provide advice to the board or an organisation. In this way, a committee helps prepare decisions more effectively, address issues more quickly, and distribute the work fairly.
To better address specific projects or themes, Samen Wonen supports temporary committees, for example in relation to major maintenance, renovation/new construction, or other important issues. This includes, among other things, having a board member take part in these committees.
A residents’ committee is a group of tenants that represents the interests of residents of a housing complex or neighbourhood. Under the Consultation Act, a residents’ committee has the right to consult with the landlord on matters such as maintenance, liveability, service charges, and renovations. The Tenants’ Association Samen Wonen supports several local residents’ committees.
The Tenants’ Association Samen Wonen (HSW) has existed since 13 February 1997 and is the organisation representing the interests of tenants of QuaWonen within our operating area.
