For organisations
Stronger building communities need more than residents alone
BuurUnion is designed around residents, while housing providers, municipalities and local businesses can each play a different role in creating the conditions for participation to grow.
For housing providers
Make resident participation easier to support at building level
BuurUnion gives residents a clear way to discover, create and join activities in their own building, while keeping resident access and basic community administration structured.
Resident participation
Residents get one clear place to discover, create and join activities in their own building.
Verified building access
Residents enter through a personal invite code or an approved access request, so the community stays anchored to the building.
Structured community administration
Resident access and basic community administration are kept organised for the building.
Learning from a focused building pilot
A single-building pilot makes it possible to see how residents take part before widening further.
For municipalities
Start small, learn locally
BuurUnion can provide a practical building-level layer within broader participation and community initiatives. A focused pilot can help explore how residents engage, what encourages participation and where support may be needed.
A building pilot is a way to learn what works locally. Outcomes depend on the residents and the neighbourhood, and are observed rather than promised.
For local businesses
A future role in the local community ecosystem
Local businesses may later support community activity through suitable spaces, workshops, services, activities or relevant local resources, helping connect resident participation with places and opportunities already available nearby.

Looking ahead
We're exploring how local businesses could support community activities in future phases. This is not yet available in the current BuurUnion experience.
