More and more people in Amsterdam are becoming homeless without it being immediately obvious. They’re sleeping on the couch at friends’ or family members’ homes—after a divorce, job loss, or because the housing market is completely gridlocked.
At De Regenboog Groep, we’re here for them. Through social work, walk-in consultation hours, and one-on-one contact, we offer support and hope. We need your help to do this.
What are you going to do?
During the housing consultation hours, you’ll help Amsterdam residents get started in their search for a home. You’ll assist them with registering with housing agencies and applying for suitable housing.
Who are we looking for?
✓ You are sociable and engaged
✓ You don’t jump to conclusions and are a go-getter
✓ You are digitally savvy and meticulous
✓ You can commit at least 2 hours per week
✓ You are 18 years of age or older
