What is the Mieszkanie Plus programme about?

You have certainly heard about the government's new Mieszkanie Plus ("Flat Plus") programme. It was passed in the summer of this year. By design, it is meant to offer real support to Poles. It is one of the government's priority programmes. Many people are interested in this solution, but who was it created for above all? Find out more about it. We will explain to interested readers how the programme works and focus on the details.

Who is the Mieszkanie Plus programme aimed at?

This question comes up on the internet very often. The Prime Minister answered it clearly in her statements. The programme is aimed primarily at the middle class. It is meant to allow Poles who belong to it to build up savings without having to lower their standard of living. Large families are to have priority in taking advantage of the programme. People who apply to the programme will be awarded points, and the number of children in the family will affect their score. Income will affect the waiting time for a property. The programme is meant to support and help.

Three pillars

The Mieszkanie Plus programme is meant to provide major support for families. According to those in government, it rests on three main pillars:

• the National Housing Fund – flats are to be built on State Treasury land
• it is meant to support social housing
• individual housing accounts – they are meant to support people while they save for a flat of their own

Security

The programme is to offer several possibilities. A family can rent a flat built under the scheme, with the option of eventually buying it after some years. The cost of paying for such a flat is meant to be much lower than on commercial terms. The programme aims to change the direction of housing policy and the way public funds are spent. It is intended to bring the situation in our country closer to the one prevailing in Western European countries.
