How to apply for an apartment

Y-Homes are especially designed for people who find it difficult to get a home of their own. These are in particular people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.

As a rule, Y-Homes are studio flats or small one-room flats. Most of the flats are rented to municipalities or other partners. Y-Homes are mainly applied for directly from our partners.

Y-Säätiö also has Y-Homes in the Helsinki region, which we rent ourselves.

The apartments offered by M2-Kodit are rental homes built with state support, which is why certain specific criteria are considered in tenant selection.
