Young people receive a premium to buy a home in Nieuwpoort, Unia concerned about possible discrimination

Equal Opportunities Center Unia has reservations. “Of course we understand the objective,” says Els Keytsman. “People want more diversity in the municipality and do something about the affordability of homes. But such an age limit is of course very arbitrary and can have a discriminatory effect.”

Keytsman, together with Nieuwpoort, wants to examine how the objective of diversification can be achieved in some other way. “If you want to make Nieuwpoort more diverse, you can, for example, not only look at buying homes, but also at renting homes.” According to Unia, you mainly attract more young people by looking at the range of schools, leisure opportunities, sports opportunities or an offer for young families.
