The De Hey Acker building in Beneden-Leeuwen vacant for a long time. The De Kernen Housing Foundation, the Maas & Waal Care Group, and the municipality West Maas en Waal together with local residents, community members, and other stakeholders to find a new use for this space. Together, we’re continuing to build a community where there’s room for people to come together and care for one another.
