Every green space is gaining importance in the heart of the city. Our green courtyard and compost bin tenders in 2021 have contributed to the increase of these valuable green spaces and climate protection in Józsefváros.
We are now looking for applications by condominiums or housing associations which would like to increase green areas on their galleries, facades or shade their courtyards and gangways.
All three types of grants are open to condominiums and housing associations located in Józsefváros which are not solely owned by the municipality.
Advantage will be given to applicants who have not won a grant over the past 3 years in any other tender announced by the municipality on greening or similar topics. The applicants who were winners of our previous calls (between 2019-2021) will automatically be ranked behind other condominiums that have not yet been supported in a similar area.
A completed application form and its attachments are required for a valid application. The application form can be downloaded from the municipality’s website: www.jozsefvaros.hu/onkormanyzat/palyazatok/aktualis/
Applications can be submitted until 28 February 2022. Applications may be submitted electronically using the application form, duly completed, to the following e-mail address: zoldpalyazat@jozsefvaros.hu, indicating the subject of the application and the address of the applicant condominium (e.g.: Greening of facade_Baross utca 63-67.)
Any further questions regarding the application may be addressed to our colleagues via e-mail (zoldpalyazat@jozsefvaros.hu) or telephone (+36 1 459 2576; +36 1 459 2552).
