YLE: Thousands of Finnish households have been urged to find cheaper housing

THE SOCIAL INSURANCE INSTITUTION of Finland (Kela) has encouraged 25,000 households to look for more affordable housing options since April, reports YLE.

Kela has issued the recommendations due to a legislative change that prevents it from exceeding the maximum limits for housing costs when granting basic social assistance for housing costs – except for special grounds such as old age, poor health and the interests of children.
