What we do

Three ways SHF supports housing on the island

From rental homes to renovations to rent assistance, our work covers the full range of what a Statia family may need.

Social Housing Rental

Affordable, well-maintained rental homes for tenants with limited financial resources, with SHF acting as a responsive, approachable landlord.

Home Renovation Project

Financed by VRO, the Dutch Ministry of Housing and Spatial Planning, SHF is managing the renovation of homes across the island — 54 completed so far — to keep them safe, sound, and comfortable for tenants.

Housing Allowance Programme

Run with the Public Entity and the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, this programme supports lower-income households renting privately who can't yet access social housing.

“Providing quality social housing that allows families to thrive within society.”

SHF is an active housing association based in Golden Rock, Sint Eustatius. Whether you're a current tenant or a prospective one, we aim to be reliable and approachable — because on a small island, housing is a community concern, not just a transaction.

Beyond a roof overhead, we work to connect tenants with the wider network of support they may need, and to keep every neighbourhood a place people are glad to call home.
