About this opportunity

Bostøtte is an economic support program for individuals with low income and high housing costs in Lillestrøm, Norway. The program includes both state housing support (Husbankens bostøtte) administered by Husbanken and municipal housing support (kommunal bostøtte) for specific eligible recipients. State housing support is available to those meeting income and housing cost criteria, with applications processed through Husbanken but managed by the municipality. Municipal housing support is specifically for recipients of disability pension, old-age pension, or survivor's pension who rent municipal housing or housing where the municipality has allocation rights. Applicants must first apply for state housing support from Husbanken before applying for municipal support. The municipal support is means-tested and calculated based on household composition, total gross income, and housing expenses including rent and electricity costs, using SIFO reference budgets for living expenses.
