Specifically, in the coming days all the details for the rent allowance are to be clarified, which will give relief to 300,000 households.
For starters the way for the Katseli law must be clarified so as to adapt the rental allowance accordingly. Hence those who have consumer loans with a mortgage on their first residence, may not be excluded.
However, the payment of the rent allowance will have a retroactive effect from 1.1.2019, while the programme has total budget of € 400 million and involves about 300,000 households.
The criteria
The housing allowance is an important income relief of approximately 300,000 families. They will be granted an amount ranging from € 70 – € 210 per month (€ 840 – € 2,500 per year), with income criteria.
Beneficiaries are to include, certainly, families in rent or those burdened with a home loan for a first residence and it is being considered to include some of those who have a consumer loan with a mortgage on the first residence.
The income inclusion criteria is expected to start at around € 7,000 per year for a single-person household and to scale up to € 21,000. Property and assets criteria will also apply (real estate and deposits), luxury living, insurance coverage and marital status too.
Scales
The scaling that is selected as regards the amount of the allowance, emphasizes the child, which is treated as an adult, with the obvious goal to promote births:
– For a single-person household: € 70 per month,
– For each additional member of the household, adult or minor, an increase of 50%, i.e. € 35 per month.
There is special care for single parent families and households with unprotected children, for the first minor member of the household an increment of € 70 per month.
