The Polish government is preparing a legislative project to finance housing access in SIM, TBS, and cooperatives while tightening controls on existing property program beneficiaries. <\/p>\n
People who have creditworthiness but have not accumulated even tens of thousands of zlotys for a contribution or participation can gain new support. The government is preparing a project that will allow financing access to housing in SIM, TBS, and housing cooperatives. At the same time, controls on beneficiaries of the Safe 2% Credit and Family Housing Credit programs will be tightened. What exactly will change?<\/p>\n
A bill amending the act on the Family Housing Credit and the Safe 2% Credit (UD441) has been added to the legislative work schedule of the Council of Ministers. Its main goal is to increase the availability of housing from the social and cooperative segment for moderate-income households.<\/p>\n
Currently, people interested in premises offered by Social Housing Initiatives (SIM), Social Housing Associations (TBS), or housing cooperatives often have to contribute from about 15 to even 30 percent of the value of the premises or the costs of its construction. For many families, this is an insurmountable barrier. The government wants to eliminate it by expanding the possibilities of using the Family Housing Credit, guaranteed by Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego.<\/p>\n
In practice, for an apartment worth 500,000 PLN, this means the necessity of contributing from about 75,000 to even 150,000 PLN. For many families, this exact expense is the biggest obstacle to obtaining housing.<\/p>\n
The most important change will be the possibility of obtaining preferential financing for:<\/p>\n
Importantly, the loan can also be granted as a consumer loan, and the BGK guarantee can cover part or even the entire required amount. This means that people without high savings could gain faster access to housing in the social or cooperative segment.<\/p>\n
The project also provides changes for people using the Safe 2% Credit and the family housing credit. The state wants to more effectively detect cases of violation of the conditions for using the programs. This applies, among others, to the sale of an apartment bought with state support or the acquisition of another property in situations where regulations prohibit it. For this purpose, beneficiary data is to be compared with data collected in the Housing Turnover Data Portal maintained by the Insurance Guarantee Fund.<\/p>\n
If a violation of regulations is detected, it will be possible to recover public funds. The money will return to the Government Housing Fund and can be used to support subsequent people applying for housing.<\/p>\n
The amendment also clarifies several existing regulations. Among other things:<\/p>\n
One of the significant changes will be a clear definition of situations when one of the co-borrowers transfers ownership of the property to the other co-borrower. In this case, the person transferring the share will be excluded from the credit agreement. The government wants to eliminate cases in which a program participant would use subsidies without being the owner of the financed property.<\/p>\n
The new solutions are aimed primarily at young families, people starting independent lives, middle-income households, and people who have creditworthiness but have not accumulated funds for the required housing contribution or participation.<\/p>\n
For now, these are only the assumptions of the project entered into the legislative work schedule of the Council of Ministers. This means that the new solutions are not yet in force. The project must be adopted by the government, then passed by parliament, and signed by the President. Only then will it be possible to apply for the new support.<\/p>\n
According to the schedule, the government plans for the project to be adopted by the Council of Ministers in the fourth quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n
