About Huize Agnes

A place for women and children far from home

Huize Agnes offers temporary shelter and guidance to women and their children who are in the Netherlands without valid residence papers.

These women and their children cannot survive on the street, they are too vulnerable. Huize Agnes is a safe place where these women can relax and not have to worry about the next meal or a place to sleep for the night.
The situation of the residents of Huize Agnes is complex. Their knowledge of Dutch and the Netherlands is limited. They often suffer from trauma and experience a lot of stress due to their insecure situation. The guidance of Huize Agnes is aimed at ensuring that women regain control of their lives and work on a new future perspective from there.

We work closely together with various fellow institutions and the Municipality of Utrecht.
