How does the program work?
Affordable Housing ČS offers apartments with rents approximately 20% lower than the market equivalent. Tenants are also assured of a stable tenancy. The selection of specific tenants is carried out in cooperation with the partner institution — in the case of CTU, the university would confirm applicants according to pre-established rules.
The program currently includes 695 apartments in five projects throughout the Czech Republic.
