The social housing service is designed to provide housing to individuals and families who are unable or incapable of providing it for themselves. The service may (but will not necessarily) incorporate services supporting people’s ability to manage and lead an independent life.

However, social housing should not be considered a final accommodation solution for individuals or families, which is why the contracts entered into with recipients are reviewed by local governments after a certain period of time has elapsed.

Individuals or families whose socio-economic situation or other circumstances do not allow them to independently provide themselves or their family with accommodation are eligible for the social housing service.
