Up to CZK 1 million in grants available for insulating older Czech family homes

Applicants for grants to insulate older family homes under the Renovate Grandma’s House programme will receive up to one million crowns in advance. Environment Minister Petr Hladík (KDU-ČSL) said this at today’s press conference presenting the programme. Successful applicants will also be able to take out a preferential loan from building societies starting in January 2024. An additional bonus of 50.000 crowns will be available for each dependent child, Labour and Social Affairs Minister Marian Jurečka (KDU-ČSL) added.

All economically active individuals will be eligible for the grant, and applications can be submitted from September. It is intended for family homes or houses used for recreation, with applicants required to maintain permanent residence there for ten years after documenting completion of the project. Grants can also be claimed retroactively for eligible expenses incurred since January 1, 2021. The options include both renovation and demolition followed by construction of a house on the same plot. Grants will be available for houses built no later than 2013.
