The primary target group is owners of family houses and smaller residential properties, but eligibility depends primarily on the size of the settlement and the applicant's address rather than the building type. So a small condominium with a few flats in a rural town may also be eligible.
An important difference from the panel renovation subprogramme: while the latter targets larger housing estate condominiums, the Rural Home Renovation Programme is tailored to individual, smaller scale investments, and the applicant is typically the owner rather than the condominium as a legal entity.
An owner living in a smaller rural condominium should check eligibility individually even if the condominium as a whole does not apply, as certain investments can be carried out on an individual share of property.
The exact eligibility criteria and available budget can change year by year, so always base the application on the currently valid call.
If you are unsure about your eligibility, clarify the conditions on the programme's official platform at the very start of planning, before preparing implementation documentation.
