The Dutch population has been growing for the last decades, caused by an aging society and migration (Duin & Stoeldraijer, 2014; Duin, Stoeldraijer, Nicolaas, Ooijevaar, & Sprangers, 2015). At the same time the household composition in the Netherlands has changed (Maarseveen & Harmsen, 2011). The course of life of people has been following a less standardized pattern: youngsters first live on their own instead of forming a couple and moving in together (Ritsema van Eck, Dam, Groot, & Jong, 2013) there are also more broken families, making the total number and the share of single- person households getting higher (Stoeldraaijer, 2014), especially in bigger cities. Also the total number of households has increased, partly caused by the high number of single-persons households (Buys & Keers, 2015). This growth is expected to exceed the building production, causing an increasing shortage on the Dutch housing market (Capital Value, 2015) and has already resulted in rising prices and scarcity. If nothing will be done, this will especially affect young single-person households because they depend on one income, have not built up enough savings yet, suffer from the strict regulations regarding mortgages, and are attracted to the sociability in the bigger and more expensive cities (Groot, Schilder, Daalhuizen , & Verwest, 2014). This might lead to a group of households that is excluded from the housing market.
