Description

The project has explored what are the best approaches to set-up of financing schemes, including mixing financing sources such as grants, commercial and soft loans, third party financing, revolving funds, structural fund means and public participation models. The key focus of the studies has been on Latvia, Poland, Germany (Brandenburg region), Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria and has also drawn on experience from EU-15, mainly Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark.

Implementation

The present Guideline presents some main findings of the InoFin project with a view to inspiring stakeholders to take initiatives for improving the conditions for undertaking investments in the social housing sector, thereby achieving both social and energy benefits.
