Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has left open the possibility of launching a new phase of the government’s flagship homeownership program, linking housing affordability to the country’s demographic challenges and the difficulties faced by young families.

Speaking at a conference focused on population trends, Mitsotakis said the government remains committed to supporting young households through a combination of financial assistance, housing policies and employment measures aimed at addressing declining birth rates.

€150 Per Child Support Payment in June

The prime minister announced that part of the country’s 2025 fiscal surplus will be returned to society through targeted support measures. Among them is a one-off payment of €150 per child, scheduled to be paid next month in addition to existing child benefits.

Mitsotakis described demographic decline as a national priority, arguing that it requires a broad policy framework that includes economic support, access to housing, stronger employment opportunities and comprehensive assistance for young parents.

New Phase of Housing Program Under Consideration

Addressing housing affordability, the prime minister said the government is examining the financial conditions required to expand the “My Home” housing program, although he stopped short of making any formal announcement regarding a new phase.

He stressed that improving access to affordable housing remains a key objective, noting that the government is implementing more than 40 housing-related initiatives designed to stabilize rental prices and increase housing availability.

Mitsotakis also highlighted the need to boost the supply of homes and introduce stronger incentives to bring vacant properties back into use, describing housing policy as an essential component of efforts to support young families and tackle long-term demographic challenges.
