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.

For plant production or honey production, the grant is available during the growing season from April 15 to October 1.

This grant program provides financial support to agricultural enterprises that deliver livestock manure to biogas plants in Norway. The purpose is to reduce climate gas emissions by utilizing methane gas that is produced during the storage of livestock manure. Methane represents a significant portion of agriculture's contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, and by capturing and utilizing this gas through biogas facilities, emissions can be substantially reduced. The subsidy is calculated primarily per ton of livestock manure delivered to biogas facilities. Agricultural enterprises with livestock that deliver manure to biogas plants in Norway are eligible to apply. Applications must be submitted electronically with a deadline of February 20 the year after the delivery has occurred.
