Groningen is facing a significant housing shortage that affects everyone. In recent years, there has primarily been construction aimed at the traditional family of two parents with children. As a result, not only students but also starters and seniors have been left out. The municipality must ensure sufficient, affordable, and diverse housing in Groningen. Attention must also be given to mobility, so that young people, starters, and seniors can find suitable housing. Student & Stad want to accelerate building processes, mixed neighbourhoods, and housing quality that matches the growth of Groningen. Neighbourhoods should be mixed and reflect the Groningen population, so that Groningen remains a place where everyone can feel at home.

AFFORDABLE, SUITABLE HOUSING
We are abolishing the ban on living together with three or more people. Everyone should be free to live with anyone: whether you are a student, a starter, or a senior.
We are building faster and more: affordable, sustainable, and with attention to quality of life. We are spreading new construction throughout the entire city so that every group can find a suitable place.
We stand for mixed neighborhoods that reflect the composition of Groningen: students, starters, families, and seniors together.
In areas like Suikerzijde, Nieuwe Held, and Stadshavens, we are building strategically towards a compact city, with room for expansion when the housing shortage requires it.
We give starters a fair chance with municipal starter loans and by specifically allocating a portion of new social rental housing to young people.
We stimulate flow by actively building for seniors and making space for special living forms such as housing groups.
We are making room rental possible again. This social and accessible form of housing deserves protection.
