These societies usually manage large numbers of flats in various parts of the town to whom you can again subscribe. These people, however, will ring when you are nearing the top of the waiting list! Again, waiting lists are rather long, so this is not available as an immediate option. Otherwise good value and good flats too.

Specialise in houses and flats in the Den Haag/Leiden area.
Enrollment is free, but the form is a pain to fill in since it needs
employer declarations etc. Once you've done that you're enrolled and
can't do anything more until they offer you a place, which can take
months. They do have some nice houses at reasonable prices, and it is
probably worth the wait if you've got the time.
Recently is has come to our attention that if you make clear to
Rijnland Makelaardij that you are a foreign person looking for
housing, they will quickly come into action. There's no need to enroll
and the agents are very helpful.

For the international worker. Fully and partly furnished flats and
houses in the Den Haag/Leiden area, often on short or otherwise
restricted term lease. These places are nice but are often expensive:
meant for the wellpaid Shell family or Estec official on a posting to
the Netherlands. No enrollment fees or forms. They produce a booklet
in English `Rental Accommodation' every 1-2 weeks which can be
collected (free) from their office on the Geverstraat (which is the
continuation of the Rijnsburger Weg through Oegstgeest, close to the
Albert Heijn).
