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.

Lillestrøm kommunes ulvefond is a local fund designed to co-finance physical measures that can contribute positively for residents, agriculture, and other businesses that face challenges with the presence of wolves. The fund's resources are primarily intended for measures in Lillestrøm municipality east of the Glomma river. The fund can cover costs for measures within several areas including wolf deterrent fencing for livestock beyond what other state support schemes provide, establishment of fenced areas for dogs, protective vests for dogs, municipal damage hunting teams (including courses, training and equipment purchases), local practical management, and other physical appropriate measures. For applications regarding predator-deterrent fences for grazing animals, there is a requirement that they follow standards set by the Environmental Directorate and that they are not covered by other state subsidy schemes. Applications must be submitted to Lillestrøm municipality via email or regular post, marked with Ulvefond D47019 and reference to case 26/00161. The application should contain a description of the measure including its effect, what will be done, why, when and how, along with a budget. If the measure has received or is planned to receive co-financing from other support schemes, this must be stated in the application.
