Greek national housing strategy implementation

Overview

Greece has initiated a long-term approach to its housing crisis through the National Housing Strategy 2026–2035. This ten-year plan involves over 50 interventions with a budget exceeding €6.5 billion, aimed at increasing housing stock, promoting homeownership, and expanding social housing.

Key components of the strategy include repurposing state-owned land, such as military camps, to construct approximately 2,350 high-energy-class social housing units in locations including Patras, Acharnes, and Thessaloniki. The plan also seeks to add 8,500 student dormitory spaces and introduce social rent models.

To support the market, the government is proposing permanent tax incentives for financial institutions offering low-interest mortgages. Other measures include exploring new Golden Visa categories linked to long-term rentals, implementing renovation programs for closed properties, and facilitating the sale of foreclosed properties.
