"Unprecedented" 3,754 Billion Forints Earmarked for Re-Launch of Home Renovation Programme in Hungary
The government will re-launch its home renovation subsidy programme "to ensure financial security and prosperity to families," the minister of culture and innovation told a press briefing.

Balazs Hanko said "we are a family friendly country and nation ... the Hungarian government stands by families whatever they may say in Brussels or whatever trends Europe may promote."

Hanko said next year's budget would include an "unprecedented" 3,754 billion forints earmarked for family support, 447 billion forints more than in 2024.

Zsofia Koncz, the ministry's state secretary for families, said the relaunched programme was aimed at promoting "Hungarian families, the local economy and construction sector, in line with the government's new economy policy action plan."

The scheme will target more than 100,000 families living at 2,887 small settlements, Koncz said, adding that families with children under 25 were eligible to grants up to 3 million forints and a subsidised loan of 6 million forints.

    The government has awarded over 523 billion forints in home renovation subsidies to 250,000 families in the framework of a two-year programme that concluded in December, the state treasury said, noting that over 100,000 applications for the subsidies arrived in December and said processing the last-minute rush would require more time.
