Revised Housing Schemes for Rural and Mountainous Areas Now in Effect

The revised Housing Schemes for mountainous, remote, disadvantaged areas and the countryside came into effect on March 2, 2026. The schemes, implemented since 2019, aim to provide financial assistance to citizens for acquiring owned housing in these areas, based on income criteria and family composition. By 2025, 2,027 applications had been approved with a total grant amount of €77 million. The Ministry of Interior has made improvements to the schemes to make them more attractive. Applications are accepted until December 31, 2027, at the District Administrations.
