If your owner-occupied home is poorly insulated, you can apply for a subsidy of €1,300 to insulate. The house must have a WOZ value of less than € 340,000 (reference date January 1, 2022). In addition, your house must have energy label D, E, F or G or 2 or more poorly insulated building parts.
For which insulation measures do you get a subsidy?
Rainwater is clean water that we can put to good use for our house and garden plants and to prevent dehydration. It is therefore unfortunate that much rainwater still disappears through the drainpipe into the sewer and mixes with polluted water. If your house or business premises are connected to the public mixed sewer system, you can disconnect your downspout from the sewer system. You can apply for a grant for this. Is it a newly built house or building? Then your building is probably already disconnected from the sewer system and you cannot get a subsidy.
With the Future-proof Housing Loan (previously called "sustainability loan") you can finance energy measures such as insulation, a heat pump or solar panels. The loan is also intended to make your home life-proof, so you can live independently at home for longer. We offer the Future-proof Living Loan in cooperation with the Public Housing Stimulation Fund (SVn) and the Province of Gelderland.

The SEWA grant is a grant scheme for a number of areas in the districts of Geitenkamp, Presikhaaf, Klarendal, Arnhemse Broek and Malburgen. In these areas addresses have been selected that may be eligible for the subsidy. To be eligible for this subsidy, at least 2 insulating measures must be able to be carried out at your homes.
As of Feb. 1, 2024, the subsidy scheme has been adjusted and improved by, for example, offering free in-home advice and personal assistance.

The WOZ value of your home falls within the national affordability limit (€ 390,000 in 2024).
You are owner/occupier or owner/lessor of the property.
You have a housing plan prepared by a consulting firm hired by the municipality.
You can and do implement at least 2 major insulation measures from this housing plan.
Individual or collective approach
For the SEWA subsidy, an individual or collective approach applies. With both approaches, you will receive free guidance and advice on which insulation measures are best for you. You will also receive support in applying for and justifying the subsidy. The advisors who guide you are chosen by the municipality.
With an individual application, you choose your own contractor to carry out the measures on your premises.
With a collective application, you join a collective insulation offering on your street.
Support further consists of the following services:
Creating a housing plan that includes the 2 most important insulation measures for your home.

Assistance in applying for any loan.
Grant accountability assistance.

Working individually with SEWA (individual approach)
The individual approach is for homeowners who want to have their home insulated with a contractor of their own choosing. A consultant appointed by the municipality will prepare a housing plan for you and help with the application. From this housing plan, you choose at least 2 measures to insulate your home.
Roadmap
You take the following steps if you meet the requirements:
The collective approach offers homeowners the opportunity to work with their street or neighborhood to insulate homes. A consulting party appointed by the municipality will prepare a personalized housing plan for you based on the type of home. The consulting party helps you with advice, support and implementation of the measures. This includes applying for the SEWA and ISDE subsidies.
The collective approach applies to:
Streets where housing corporations will insulate their rental properties. Homeowners can take advantage of the insulation measures performed by the same contractor as the housing corporation.
Streets or residential blocks with similar type of condominiums where the same insulation measures can be taken.
The municipality of Arnhem determines in which streets a collective approach is started. If an initiative arises in your neighborhood, we will inform you personally. You can then register with this initiative.
Is your property part of an association of owners and do you want to do it yourself? Then we ask you to record the permission of your CoE via the form Declaration of Consent of Owners Association (pdf, 63 kB). An Owners' Association can also make its own joint application if the Owners' Association is responsible for measures such as roof, floor and wall insulation.

With permeable paving, rainwater runs through the tiles into the ground. The tiles have an open structure. With water-permeable paving, the water passes between the tiles into the ground. These tiles have grooves on the edges and do not lie tightly together.The rainwater runs into the ground more easily this way.
Homeowner or tenant:
If you replace the current tiles for permeable or level tiles, you will be reimbursed 25% of the cost for an area of 20 m2 or larger, with a maximum of €1,000.
Organization:
