Housing Ministry

The National Insurance Institute announces that long-term allowances, including old-age, disability, and survivor benefits, are being distributed today. Simultaneously, the agency is collaborating with the Ministry of Construction and Housing to notify eligible citizens about rent assistance.

The Ministry of Construction and Housing is establishing an inter-ministerial team to examine mortgage assistance criteria, potentially reviving the issue after the Ministry of Finance's previous opposition. The move, supported by Minister Haim Katz, aims to address the housing crisis, with proposals including a mechanism to replace equity requirements with proven repayment ability.
