Tilskudd til bo- og støttetilbud for personer over 18 år som har vært utsatt for ufrivillig opphold i utlandet – pilotprosjekt

This is a pilot grant program in Norway for establishing housing and support services for individuals over 18 who have experienced involuntary stays abroad. The program provides funding to municipalities to cover necessary costs for establishing and operating housing and support services. The pilot runs from 2024 through 2027 and aims to serve persons returning from involuntary stays abroad who have significant support needs but are not under threat, or who have additional challenges that make them unsuitable for existing services. The program will establish up to four places total, with two places to be established in 2026. Services include safe housing during a transition period and support services to help individuals reintegrate and live as normal a life as possible. This is an extension of existing services for persons over 18 affected by forced marriage, honor-related violence, and negative social control.
