		This distinguished the hofjes from other communal homes, such as ‘godshuizen’ (charitable institutions) and ‘gasthuizen’ (for the aged and infirm), which were the responsibility of the town council or the church.
		As a rule, residents of the hofjes were considered to be poor, but not destitute: they did not have to pay rent, but were expected to bring along their own furniture and household effects.
		The oldest hofje in Amsterdam is the 14th century Beguinage with unheralded entrances in Kalverstraat and Spui.

	Homepage Amsterdamse Hofjes
		In Amsterdam zijn hofjes vanwege het gebrek aan ruimte in de binnenstad vaak erg klein en soms niet veel meer dan een straatje met inpandige huisjes achter de bebouwing aan de straat (vaak bestaan deze huisjes al vóór de stichting van het hofje: huisjes gelegen aan een “gang”).
		Deze hofjes zijn stuk voor stuk idyllische plekjes, waar het stadsrumoer is buitengesloten en waar het lijkt alsof de tijd heeft stilgestaan.
		Voor de bewoners was het een grote gunst dat zij gratis mochten wonen en vaak nog uitkeringen in de vorm van brood, vlees, bier, hemden en schoenen kregen; daar mocht wel tegenover staan dat zij zich heel netjes en dankbaar zouden gedragen.
