Greece opens applications for home renovation grants of up to 36,000 euros for closed homes

Platform opens for closed homes

The electronic platform for applying for funding under the Anakainizo programme opened on 29 October 2026, starting with closed homes, according to a joint announcement from the ministries of National Economy and Finance and of Social Cohesion and Family. The action sits within the Home Renovation scheme of ESPA 2021-2027 and carries a total budget of 500 million euros. Applications are filed only through a dedicated online portal at https://anakainisi.tee.gov.gr/, and the window remains open until 11 January 2027. Applications for homes that are not closed will follow in a later phase, with no start date given.

Grant levels and eligibility

The programme is aimed at low- and middle-income households and seeks to bring unused properties back into use as main residences, either through owner occupation or through rental. The subsidy ranges from 70% to 95% of eligible costs, with a ceiling of 36,000 euros for renovation and energy upgrade works. Support services can attract additional funding of up to 2,500 euros, under the terms set out in the Implementation Guide, which has already been published. Every applicant must hold an Eligibility Certificate for the property covered by the application.

What an application must contain

Applications are submitted exclusively online and include an Intervention Plan, which lists the proposed works and the cost of each. The plan must be accompanied by the required declarations and supporting documents. Hiring a technical consultant is not compulsory for filing, but the sources recommend one to prepare the Intervention Plan correctly and to record the required works in full. Detailed instructions on the submission procedure and on eligible works are contained in the Implementation Guide, published on 20 October 2026 on the website of the Special Management Service for the Environment and Climate Change Programme 2021-2027 (EYD PEKA) at https://peka-program.gr/.
