Discover Funding Opportunities

Startlån and grants from Lillestrøm municipality help individuals with long-term difficulties obtaining loans from regular banks to purchase or adapt their own housing. The program prioritizes disabled persons, people with reduced functional capacity, elderly individuals, and families with children to buy modest and suitable housing. The funding can be used to buy new or used housing, refinance loans with collateral in own housing if there is risk of losing the home through forced sale, take over housing, or adapt/improve housing for reduced functional capacity. Establishment grants are economically means-tested and given as an interest-free and installment-free loan to permanently disadvantaged individuals to help them acquire modest and good housing. Grants for investigation and project planning are available to all with reduced functional capacity who need to adapt their housing to be able to continue living there over time. The size of the grant is determined after a comprehensive assessment of economy, needs, and opportunities for support from other public support schemes.
