During PROVADA 2026, the housing market is quite literally on the front line. Housing shortages have become structural, new-build ambitions are falling short, and investment capital remains scarce. In addition, ongoing developments in the Middle East are threatening to trigger a new construction crisis. The question is no longer whether we need to intervene — but how we can win this battle together. Under the overarching theme All Stand Together, we raise a provocative yet essential question: is every stakeholder truly taking responsibility, or are we waiting too much for one another before taking action?

This debate brings together the entire chain of stakeholders:

The Ministry of Housing and Spatial Planning (VRO) — on governance, policy and framework conditions
Housing corporation HaagWonen — on affordability and the social housing challenge
Amvest, developer and investor — on investment appetite and returns
Plegt-Vos, integrated developer and construction company — on feasibility and scaling up construction capacity

Together, we will examine where the system is failing — and where momentum can be restored.

Key discussion points

How can we increase the supply of rental housing, even as a new construction crisis looms?
How can we restore investment confidence among housing corporations and institutional investors?
Which framework conditions are necessary to enable structural and sustainable housing development once again?

All Stand Together
This topic lies at the very heart of the All Stand Together theme. Collaboration may sound self-evident, but in practice it requires difficult decisions and shared responsibility. Who takes on which role? Who is willing to lead? And are we truly prepared to stand side by side when the pressure increases?

Join this debate and contribute to the discussion on a question that concerns us all: how do we get the housing market moving again — and are we not all equally responsible for taking action?
