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.
The Y-Kodit apartments owned by Y-Säätiö are usually studio flats or small one-bedroom apartments. Most of the apartments are rented to municipalities or other partners, which means they are primarily applied for directly through our partner organisations. However, Y-Säätiö has a limited number of apartments in the Helsinki region that we rent out ourselves.
You can send a housing application to Y-Säätiö if you are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The application process can move quickly if a suitable apartment becomes available at the right time. However, the number of apartments is limited, and a rental apartment cannot be guaranteed for all applicants.
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 apartment from M2-Kodit, owned by Y-Säätiö, which offers affordable rental homes across Finland. M2-Kodit has over 11,600 apartments in nearly 30 locations. The apartments are built with state funding, so the resident’s income and assets are taken into account in the selection process.
Apartments are rented based on need – the applicant’s housing need and the urgency of their situation are key factors in the 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.
