Investeringstilskudd til omsorgsboliger og sykehjem

Husbanken publishes the scheme "Investeringstilskudd til omsorgsboliger og sykehjem" (Investment grant for care homes and nursing homes) under its pages for municipalities (kommune). The scheme is a tilskudd (grant), instrument type grant.

The stated purpose is to "øke kapasiteten av og fornye sykehjemsplasser og omsorgsboliger både til korttidsplasser og langtidsopphold" (increase the capacity of, and renew, nursing-home places and care homes for both short-term places and long-term stays), and the grant also covers common areas, technical facilities, welfare technology (velferdsteknologi), and day-activity facilities.

According to the page, the subsidy rate is "55 prosent for plasser i institusjon, og 45 prosent for omsorgsboliger" (55 percent for places in an institution, and 45 percent for care homes). For 2026 the maximum grant amounts (maksimal tilskuddssats) are stated as follows. In pressområder (pressure areas, 15 municipalities): institusjonsplass (institution place) NOK 2,687,000 and omsorgsbolig (care home) NOK 2,199,000. In øvrige kommuner (other municipalities): institusjonsplass NOK 2,350,000 and omsorgsbolig NOK 1,922,000. The page also states that from 2026, one billion kroner (NOK 1,000,000,000) is reserved annually for projects that produce net growth (netto tilvekst) in capacity.

The page does not print a fixed application deadline; applications are submitted on a løpende (rolling) basis via Husbanken's Ekstranett portal (ekstranett.husbanken.no). Eligible applicants are Norwegian municipalities seeking to expand or rehabilitate nursing-home and care-housing capacity. The target beneficiaries are persons with a confirmed need for round-the-clock health and care services, including elderly people, those with dementia, developmental disabilities, functional impairments, mental-health issues, or substance-abuse/social problems.

No application email is printed on the page. The maximum amount recorded above (NOK 2,687,000) reflects the highest single per-place rate stated; lower rates apply per the categories above.
