Y-Säätiö is Finland’s largest nationwide non-profit landlord. We own over 19,000 rental apartments in nearly 60 locations. We provide affordable housing built with state support.
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.
Y-Säätiö has rental apartments in the capital region, which we rent ourselves. The majority of Y-Homes are rented through our partners.
You can also apply for a rental home from M2-Kodit, a company owned by Y-Säätiö that provides affordable rental housing. M2-Kodit owns over 11,000 apartments in nearly 30 locations across Finland.
The apartments offered by M2-Kodit are rental homes built with state support, which is why certain specific criteria are considered in tenant selection. Apartments are rented based on a needs assessment, which is determined by the applicant’s housing need and the urgency of their life situation. Starting from 2025, income limits will also affect tenant selection.
M2-Kodit has more than 11 000 rental apartments in different parts of Finland. They are ordinary rental apartments, homes for all of us.
