Federatie Opvang

The Federation of Shelters promotes the interests of homeless shelters and women’s shelters in The Netherlands. The Federation monitors trends and developments, encourages innovation, initiates cooperation on national and local level and influences policy making on actual themes. The shelter organisations give shelter and support to people who, due to a combination of problems, are homeless or in danger of losing their home. The organisations help them as much as possible to regain an independent and decent existence.
