Housing for everyone
Key goals of Reykjavík City's Housing Policy and the Reykjavík Municipal Plan 2010-2030 include a diverse range of housing options and increased availability of housing for all social groups and social diversity within neighborhoods. The social mixing of the population and the development of a rental market should be promoted.
Diverse housing
The goal is for about 25% of dwellings in each district to be rental units, student housing, housing in building cooperatives, social housing rental units, housing for seniors, and housing for people with disabilities.
Therefore, a key component in the implementation of the City’s Housing Policy is collaborating with dependable non-profit rental companies and co-operative building associations that have the financial resources for developing projects.
Affordable housing for first-time buyers
Reykjavík City collaborates with partners to increase the number of affordable apartments for youth and first-time buyers in the city.
The project encompasses development sites across the city.
