Financial support for elevator retrofitting or modernization

Support for housing for the elderly

Property owners can apply for government support to arrange and provide housing for older people. This support may also include the retrofitting of a lift or certain modernisation measures.

According to the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning, it is no requirement that elderly people already live in the stairwell. The requirement is that the measure should promote the possibility for older people to remain in their homes now or in the future.

The county administrative board in the county where the building is located decides on the support and that is where you send your application. Addresses and telephone numbers can be found on the county administrative boards' website: www.lansstyrelsen.se. Also on The National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's website You can read more about support for housing for the elderly.
