All residents of Hafnarfjörður should have financial and social security.
People unable to own or rent in the general housing market can apply for social rental housing at lower renting prices.
Rented accommodation in the social housing system is a temporary measure until people can rent in the general market or buy their own apartment. The application must be renewed yearly. Changes in marital status, family size, and financial status can influence your right to the housing.
To be entitled to social-assistance housing you need to fulfil certain conditions regarding income, housing, and social circumstances.
Applications for social-assistance housing can be found on My Pages. For more information you can contact a housing representative on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays between 9:00 and 9:30 by calling 585 5500.
