In 2015 the Housing Act was revised in order to further regulate the social housing sector in the Netherlands and thereby improve the steering possibilities for the central government to coordinate housing associations. This included local performance agreements for social housing policy obtaining a legal status. By introducing this policy instrument central government seeks to facilitate and ensure the tri-partite cooperation between municipalities, housing associations and tenants’ organisations in order to release funds by housing associations for social benefit. This should improve the position of municipalities and tenants’ organisations in social housing, and improve legitimate policy making. In this paper the main research question is: How are local performance agreements implemented targeting increased societal legitimacy in local social housing policy making, and what are its strengths and weaknesses in three selected cases in the Netherlands? A case study research design was used involving three local embedded case studies. As a theoretical framework the Contextual Interaction Theory was used. Data collection involved expert interviews and review of policy documents. Results reveal several weaknesses that impede the implementation of performance agreements, including issues in the broader governance regime and context, as well as issues with the inter-organisational structure and stakeholder interaction regarding the tri-partite cooperation between the key actors. This has to do with the precarious role of the tenants’ organisations in the process, and the local housing policy as the basis of local performance agreements. Results also show that implementation of performance agreements is more difficult in cities with dense urban areas.

2015年，对《住房法》进行了修订，以进一步规范荷兰的社会住房部门，从而提高中央政府协调住房协会的指导可能性。这包括获得社会地位的当地社会住房政策绩效协议。中央政府通过引入这一政策工具，力求促进和确保市政当局，住房协会和房客组织之间的三方合作，以便住房协会为社会利益释放资金。这将改善市政当局和租户组织在社会住房中的地位，并改善合法政策制定。本文的主要研究问题是：在本地社会住房政策制定过程中，如何实施旨在提高社会合法性的地方绩效协议？在荷兰的三个案例中，它的优缺点是什么？案例研究设计用于涉及三个本地嵌入式案例研究。作为一个理论框架，使用了上下文互动理论。数据收集涉及专家访谈和政策文件审查。结果显示出一些阻碍绩效协议实施的弱点，包括更广泛的治理制度和背景下的问题，以及组织内部结构和利益相关方在关键参与者之间的三方合作方面的问题。这与租户组织在此过程中的不稳定角色有关，以及当地住房政策作为当地绩效协议的基础。结果还表明，在市区密集的城市中，执行绩效协议更为困难。
