Preventive budget management is available for Almere residents who are not in an active debt assistance program but have financial concerns. We handle the payment of fixed expenses and any repayments or savings allocations. The remaining budget is available to the resident, who is responsible for other expenses.
This program is free of charge, lasts a maximum of one year, and may be extended by another year in exceptional cases. Registration is through the Early Detection Team.
