BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 12. The Central Finance
and Contracting Agency (CFLA) has opened two new calls for project
proposals, offering a total of 38 million euros in European Union
funding to support municipal social housing initiatives across
Latvia, Trend
reports with reference to the Ministry of Economics of the Republic
of Latvia.
The funding is provided through the European Regional
Development Fund (ERDF) as part of the EU’s 2021–2027 Cohesion
Policy Program.
Developed by the Ministry of Economics, the funding initiative
aims to improve access to dignified living conditions for socially
and economically vulnerable individuals while reducing long
municipal waiting lists for social housing rentals.
The first call, with 6.88 million euros in available ERDF
financing, will support the reconstruction and adaptation of
existing premises for use as social housing. The second call
allocates 31.24 million euros for municipalities to complete
unfinished residential buildings or to construct entirely new
social housing units.
In addition to construction, the funding may be used for related
landscaping and the installation of functionally necessary kitchen
and sanitary equipment.
Municipalities can submit applications from June 10 through
September 10, 2025, and approved projects can be implemented
through the end of 2029. Full project call documentation is
available on the CFLA website under the respective rounds.
This support falls under specific objective 4.3.1 of the EU
Cohesion Policy Program, aimed at promoting the social and economic
integration of socially excluded communities, low-income
households, and disadvantaged groups—particularly through
integrated solutions in housing and social services.
The CFLA advocates for municipalities to leverage this strategic
initiative to enhance accessibility to premium, cost-effective
housing solutions and foster the development of more inclusive
urban ecosystems.
