For instance, the city of Szombathely has taken an active role mediating between homeless people and landlords providing rental accommodation. Since 2008, it has funded a capped rent subsidy system to support around 100 households annually, costing the city EUR 65,000 to EUR 80,000 per year, and providing EUR 70 per month to private landlords per household accommodated. This scheme costs less than refurbishing the city\u2019s vacant or poorly maintained social housing stock.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another city providing rent subsidy is Kecskem\u00e9t, which has a population of 110,000 and a tiny social housing stock of 1,600 units. The rent assistance scheme supports 80-100 households each year. Households receive a subsidy for one year after which they must re-apply, enabling compliance checks. Both the Szombathely and Kecskem\u00e9t municipalities, require a rental contract as a condition, but do not check if the landlord is compliant with the tax authority.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
