Novák announced in October the government would cover half of the cost of home renovation, up to HUF 3 million, for families with one or more children from 2021.

She said jobseekersʼ allowances in the past three months will also qualify, acknowledging job losses because of the coronavirus crisis.
The subsidies will be paid on invoices for labor or materials submitted within 60 days after their issue to the Hungarian State Treasury. The Treasury has 30 days to evaluate the invoices, after which time it has five days to transfer the subsidies.
