We are volunteers who provide solicited and unsolicited advice on topics affecting the city related to social issues such as care and support, poverty and loneliness, diversity and inclusion, youth, and seniors. We aim to contribute to promoting self-reliance, personal strength, and the participation of our residents.  &lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;!-- wp:paragraph {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;Our recommendations:&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;!-- wp:list {&quot;ordered&quot;:true} --&gt;\n&lt;ol class=&quot;wp-block-list&quot;&gt;&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Promote social security within the possibilities of the municipality. We expect our most vulnerable residents\u2014especially people with disabilities\u2014to face extra financial hardship in the very near future (including increases in healthcare deductibles, personal contributions for district nursing, and the elimination of domestic help under the Social Support Act (Wmo)). Therefore, prioritize measures that benefit their future social and financial resilience, self-reliance, and participation within our municipality.  &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Recently, the City Council adopted a policy document from the Mayor and Aldermen regarding accessibility, diversity, and inclusion, titled the &#039;Local Inclusion Agenda Maastricht&#039;. It is a strongly formulated ambition to achieve an accessible city for everyone. The document addresses a wide range of topics and themes, including public spaces, education, sports, and culture. It covers work, healthcare, well-being, and the fight against discrimination, as well as LGBTQI+, asylum seekers, and expats. The municipality of Maastricht itself should also become an institution in the coming years where diversity and inclusion are part of the core practice of daily operations. The policy document covers the period from 2026 to 2029, roughly coinciding with the term of the new coalition. This subject carries a high degree of urgency; nationally, some aldermen even have this theme as the sole mandate in their portfolio. We therefore propose that the policy to be implemented regarding diversity and inclusion be explicitly mentioned in the new coalition agreement, preferably in a separate section, and assigned to the portfolio of one of the appointed aldermen.         &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Invest more in social work (community workers) so they can play a larger role in community development in vulnerable neighborhoods and districts. Within the framework of &#039;Social Prescribing&#039;, invest more in &#039;well-being coaches&#039; (social workers) and link them as practice assistants to all general practitioner practices in Maastricht. &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Reverse the annual amount of \u20ac23 million in budget cuts in the social domain\u2014particularly in the Social Support Act (Wmo). Reserve the released financial resources to promote the social security of residents who require social support. Upon studying the 2021 Annual Accounts of the Municipality of Maastricht, it became clear to us that the cuts in the Wmo were not necessary at all that year. Since then, annual accounts have shown financial surpluses, partly due to the annual cuts of \u20ac23 million in the Wmo.   &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Connect the social domain with the physical domain so that the &#039;Health in All Policies&#039; principle can actually be incorporated into municipal policy developments. Work together with residents on social area development and the stimulation of local initiatives. This is beneficial for reducing the gap between government and society. In this way, we work together on the healthy street of the future!   &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Anchor the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, ratified in 2016, as an assessment category in your proposals to the city council. After all, ratification means that this treaty has acquired the force of law for all levels of government. Include the broad concept of accessibility as a condition for issuing building, environmental, and establishment permits to retail businesses, catering establishments, etc. Prioritize life-cycle resistant construction.   &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Make the also ratified UN Convention on the Rights of the Child the basis for policies regarding youth and youth care. This treaty gives every child the right to grow up safely and healthily. Legally, municipalities are responsible for giving substance to the rights of every child in the municipality. Partly from a preventive perspective and given the results achieved with the &#039;Healthy Primary School of the Future&#039;, we advise extending this project for at least 5 years after 2027. Currently, children in a very vulnerable position in the municipality of Maastricht are the victims of free market forces that allow profit-oriented parties to skim off the easiest cases. As a result, waiting lists in areas such as Youth Mental Health Care for children in very vulnerable positions are increasing disastrously. Additionally, the movement to admit fewer children to closed settings (such as at ViaJeugd) requires an extra financial impulse. After all, it demands much more from society if these children, who are indicated for extreme behavior, must be able to grow up as healthily and safely as possible outside of closed settings 24 hours a day.       &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Increase the influence of our residents on spatial projects in order to implement the &#039;Act on Strengthening Participation at the Local Level&#039;. By seriously involving the residents of Maastricht\u2014including house hunters!\u2014in the development and implementation of plans and projects by major initiators (project developers, housing corporations, and companies), the municipality becomes more of its residents again. This contributes to reducing the gap between government and society. Have major initiators submit participation plans simultaneously with permit applications under the Environment and Planning Act to show how they involve residents in their projects or plans and what the results are. This reduces the chance of subsequent appeal and objection procedures, which lead to delays in the execution of projects and plans by major initiators.&lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Let the construction of affordable rental and owner-occupied homes be accompanied by community development from within every district or neighborhood of Maastricht. Turn every vulnerable neighborhood into a &#039;PLUS neighborhood&#039;. Ensure the healthiest possible living environment where young people can find an affordable home, apartment, or room and feel challenged, where diversity feels recognized, where lonely elderly people are seen, where care for the elderly is close by, and where women feel protected.  &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Invest in optimally facilitating volunteers. We would like to advocate for the recruitment and optimal facilitation of volunteers who are willing to commit themselves to their city, their sports club, their brass band, their community center, etc. For instance, there is a large group of (vital) seniors who can and want to contribute to our society. Their experience, time, and expertise are abundantly available. They can support the boards of associations, community centers, and (semi-)cultural institutions in their work. Almost all political parties state in their programs that they consider associations and community centers essential for connecting our polarized and divided city. However, recruiting sufficient volunteers is becoming an increasing problem. People are particularly deterred by the high regulatory burden and the personal risks regarding liability, etc. Therefore, we advise the newly elected municipal government to prioritize the optimal facilitation of boards of associations, community centers, and (semi-)cultural institutions by volunteers, including by reducing the regulatory burden and providing liability insurance.        &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;&lt;\/ol&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list --&gt;&lt;!-- wp:paragraph {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;In a general sense, we advocate for a municipal government that dares to make a difference and explores the boundaries of legal possibilities and powers instead of strictly coloring within the lines. We are thinking, for example, of the limitations that market forces in healthcare impose on local government, while in cases where things go wrong, that same government has to pay for the damages. Practical examples and best practices from other municipalities offer interesting possibilities. It is our firm conviction and experience that an open mind and courage are rewarded!   &lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;!-- wp:paragraph {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}

We are, of course, more than willing to explain our advice in person. &lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;!-- wp:paragraph {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;The OAM is independent and was appointed in 2023 by the Mayor and Aldermen of Maastricht. We are volunteers who provide solicited and unsolicited advice on topics affecting the city related to social issues such as care and support, poverty and loneliness, diversity and inclusion, youth, and seniors. We aim to contribute to promoting self-reliance, personal strength, and the participation of our residents.  &lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;!-- wp:paragraph {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;Our recommendations:&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;!-- wp:list {&quot;ordered&quot;:true} --&gt;\n&lt;ol class=&quot;wp-block-list&quot;&gt;&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Promote social security within the possibilities of the municipality. We expect our most vulnerable residents\u2014especially people with disabilities\u2014to face extra financial hardship in the very near future (including increases in healthcare deductibles, personal contributions for district nursing, and the elimination of domestic help under the Social Support Act (Wmo)). Therefore, prioritize measures that benefit their future social and financial resilience, self-reliance, and participation within our municipality.  &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Recently, the City Council adopted a policy document from the Mayor and Aldermen regarding accessibility, diversity, and inclusion, titled the &#039;Local Inclusion Agenda Maastricht&#039;. It is a strongly formulated ambition to achieve an accessible city for everyone. The document addresses a wide range of topics and themes, including public spaces, education, sports, and culture. It covers work, healthcare, well-being, and the fight against discrimination, as well as LGBTQI+, asylum seekers, and expats. The municipality of Maastricht itself should also become an institution in the coming years where diversity and inclusion are part of the core practice of daily operations. The policy document covers the period from 2026 to 2029, roughly coinciding with the term of the new coalition. This subject carries a high degree of urgency; nationally, some aldermen even have this theme as the sole mandate in their portfolio. We therefore propose that the policy to be implemented regarding diversity and inclusion be explicitly mentioned in the new coalition agreement, preferably in a separate section, and assigned to the portfolio of one of the appointed aldermen.         &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Invest more in social work (community workers) so they can play a larger role in community development in vulnerable neighborhoods and districts. Within the framework of &#039;Social Prescribing&#039;, invest more in &#039;well-being coaches&#039; (social workers) and link them as practice assistants to all general practitioner practices in Maastricht. &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Reverse the annual amount of \u20ac23 million in budget cuts in the social domain\u2014particularly in the Social Support Act (Wmo). Reserve the released financial resources to promote the social security of residents who require social support. Upon studying the 2021 Annual Accounts of the Municipality of Maastricht, it became clear to us that the cuts in the Wmo were not necessary at all that year. Since then, annual accounts have shown financial surpluses, partly due to the annual cuts of \u20ac23 million in the Wmo.   &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Connect the social domain with the physical domain so that the &#039;Health in All Policies&#039; principle can actually be incorporated into municipal policy developments. Work together with residents on social area development and the stimulation of local initiatives. This is beneficial for reducing the gap between government and society. In this way, we work together on the healthy street of the future!   &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Anchor the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, ratified in 2016, as an assessment category in your proposals to the city council. After all, ratification means that this treaty has acquired the force of law for all levels of government. Include the broad concept of accessibility as a condition for issuing building, environmental, and establishment permits to retail businesses, catering establishments, etc. Prioritize life-cycle resistant construction.   &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Make the also ratified UN Convention on the Rights of the Child the basis for policies regarding youth and youth care. This treaty gives every child the right to grow up safely and healthily. Legally, municipalities are responsible for giving substance to the rights of every child in the municipality. Partly from a preventive perspective and given the results achieved with the &#039;Healthy Primary School of the Future&#039;, we advise extending this project for at least 5 years after 2027. Currently, children in a very vulnerable position in the municipality of Maastricht are the victims of free market forces that allow profit-oriented parties to skim off the easiest cases. As a result, waiting lists in areas such as Youth Mental Health Care for children in very vulnerable positions are increasing disastrously. Additionally, the movement to admit fewer children to closed settings (such as at ViaJeugd) requires an extra financial impulse. After all, it demands much more from society if these children, who are indicated for extreme behavior, must be able to grow up as healthily and safely as possible outside of closed settings 24 hours a day.       &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Increase the influence of our residents on spatial projects in order to implement the &#039;Act on Strengthening Participation at the Local Level&#039;. By seriously involving the residents of Maastricht\u2014including house hunters!\u2014in the development and implementation of plans and projects by major initiators (project developers, housing corporations, and companies), the municipality becomes more of its residents again. This contributes to reducing the gap between government and society. Have major initiators submit participation plans simultaneously with permit applications under the Environment and Planning Act to show how they involve residents in their projects or plans and what the results are. This reduces the chance of subsequent appeal and objection procedures, which lead to delays in the execution of projects and plans by major initiators.&lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Let the construction of affordable rental and owner-occupied homes be accompanied by community development from within every district or neighborhood of Maastricht. Turn every vulnerable neighborhood into a &#039;PLUS neighborhood&#039;. Ensure the healthiest possible living environment where young people can find an affordable home, apartment, or room and feel challenged, where diversity feels recognized, where lonely elderly people are seen, where care for the elderly is close by, and where women feel protected.  &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:list-item {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Invest in optimally facilitating volunteers. We would like to advocate for the recruitment and optimal facilitation of volunteers who are willing to commit themselves to their city, their sports club, their brass band, their community center, etc. For instance, there is a large group of (vital) seniors who can and want to contribute to our society. Their experience, time, and expertise are abundantly available. They can support the boards of associations, community centers, and (semi-)cultural institutions in their work. Almost all political parties state in their programs that they consider associations and community centers essential for connecting our polarized and divided city. However, recruiting sufficient volunteers is becoming an increasing problem. People are particularly deterred by the high regulatory burden and the personal risks regarding liability, etc. Therefore, we advise the newly elected municipal government to prioritize the optimal facilitation of boards of associations, community centers, and (semi-)cultural institutions by volunteers, including by reducing the regulatory burden and providing liability insurance.        &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list-item --&gt;&lt;\/ol&gt;\n&lt;!-- \/wp:list --&gt;&lt;!-- wp:paragraph {&quot;translatedWithWPMLTM&quot;:&quot;1&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;In a general sense, we advocate for a municipal government that dares to make a difference and explores the boundaries of legal possibilities and powers instead of strictly coloring within the lines. We are thinking, for example, of the limitations that market forces in healthcare impose on local government, while in cases where things go wrong, that same government has to pay for the damages. Practical examples and best practices from other municipalities offer interesting possibilities.
