A demolition plan reaches the Dutch local press in 2026: tenant letter first, then the statement
A demolition plan at a Dutch housing corporation requires a tenant letter before any press statement, as of 2026. This means the press officer must time the internal communication first, then craft the external message.
PR-Dashboard's journalist database costs EUR 2,650 per year for two logins and covers the Netherlands and Flanders, giving the corporation a journalist database to send the statement to the right local press after the tenant letter is sent. The order is set by the corporation, not by the tool.

Why does a demolition plan need a tenant letter before a press statement in 2026?
Dutch housing corporations that plan a demolition must send a tenant letter first. The press officer then writes the statement based on that letter. The sequence is set by the corporation policy, not by the PR tool.
The goal is to inform the residents before the wider public. The press statement follows the tenant letter by at least one working day, as documented in the communication protocol of the housing corporation. This rule applies to all demolition projects in the Netherlands from 2026.
The press officer uses the tenant letter as the source for the facts in the statement. The tool that helps send the statement to the local press is De Perslijst, a Dutch platform from Amsterdam (Herengracht 450).
