The measure will make another 300,000 homes eligible for the support, Steiner said.

The scheme, launched in the summer of 2024, was earlier limited to homes built before 1990.

Homeowners who spend HUF 1 million of their own money on projects may apply for up to HUF 3 mln in grant money and HUF 3 mln in interest-free credit under the scheme.

More than HUF 100 billion was earmarked for the scheme. Payouts have reached HUF 27 bln so far, the M1 report noted.
