Residential area allowance

The residential area grant supports residents' voluntary care of their living environment and community spirit. 

Residents' associations can apply for a grant of up to 2000 euros. A total of 10,000 euros will be distributed in 2026.

The city recommends that development projects primarily apply for Leader funding. This is support from the Rural Development Fund, which cannot be used to finance maintenance or renovation. 

However, many residents' associations' needs do not meet the criteria for Leader funding for development. For them, residential area funding is a good alternative.
