SOM is a small foundation based in Amsterdam, North Holland, founded in late 2001. It supports the city's social-services sector by coordinating activities among nine local institutions. The board is composed of the directors of those nine organizations, whose regular meetings are known as DiMaDi. The organization provides policy guidance, information provision, training, and professional discussions to the institutions it serves. It also hosts urban projects, including initiatives aimed at preventing housing eviction when tenants face rent arrears. Operating within the civic and social organizations sector, SOM acts as a nonprofit facilitator that strengthens collaboration among Amsterdam's social-service providers.
