Tilskudd til etablering og tilpasning i distriktskommuner

Husbanken administers "Tilskudd til etablering og tilpasning i distriktskommuner" (grant for establishment and adaptation in district municipalities). The page states the purpose: "Dette tilskuddet skal gjøre det lettere for folk å etablere seg i egen bolig i områder der boligmarkedet gjør det vanskelig å bo og jobbe." (Translation: "This grant shall make it easier for people to establish themselves in their own home in areas where the housing market makes it difficult to live and work.")

On eligibility, the page describes municipalities in Finnmark with regional development agreements distributing grants to individuals who "eier eller skal kjøpe en helårsbolig" (own or are going to buy a year-round dwelling) and who "skal bo i boligen selv" (are going to live in the dwelling themselves).

The page sets out the funding amounts. The maximum grant is "800 000 kroner" per recipient, and the grant may "maksimalt dekke 50 prosent av kostnadene ved kjøp eller bygging" (Translation: "cover at most 50 percent of the costs of purchase or construction").

Eligible uses described by the page are: "kjøp av helårsbolig" (purchase of a year-round dwelling), "utbedring eller tilpasning av helårsbolig" (improvement or adaptation of a year-round dwelling), and "oppføring av ny helårsbolig" (construction of a new year-round dwelling).

On the application route, the page states that individuals apply via Husbanken's e-application for startlån: "Enkeltpersoner søker via Husbankens e-søknad for startlån." Municipalities are to "registrere og behandle søknadene i Startskudd" (register and process the applications in Startskudd).

The page states a deadline for municipalities to distribute and disburse the funds: "innen 31. desember 2028" (by 31 December 2028).
