Domna Michailidou: 20,000 Homes to Enter the Market and €36,000 per Family – The Big Bet

At the heart of the initiative is a renovation and activation program aimed at bringing 20,000 vacant homes back into the market. Eligible households can receive up to €36,000 in funding, with higher support for families with children. The goal is clear: expand housing supply without fueling rent increases, addressing the root causes of rising housing costs.

The program combines financial incentives with strict oversight to ensure transparency and proper allocation of public funds. By increasing the availability of rental properties, the government aims to stabilize the market and provide practical relief to families struggling with high housing expenses.

Beyond housing, the broader social package includes targeted measures to support working parents, public servants serving away from home, and families with children requiring specialized care. From rent reimbursements to childcare subsidies and funding for early therapeutic interventions, the strategy reflects a coordinated approach to social policy.

Michailidou’s message is straightforward: effective social policy must be practical, measurable, and centered on real-life needs. With housing, family support, and transparency at its core, the plan represents what she calls “a big bet” — one designed to deliver tangible results for Greek households.
