Activation in Denmark
If you are claiming introductory benefit, cash benefit or unemployment benefit, you must have help and guidance to begin an education or find employment. This is called activation and may take the form of courses or on-the-job training. It is both a right and a duty to participate in activation as well as a precondition for receiving financial assistance.
Subsidised housing association
A subsidised housing association builds and rents out state-subsidised housing. Municipal authorities have a certain number of subsidised apartments at their disposal that can be allocated to local residents.
Everyone over the age of 15 can have their names put down on a waiting list for a subsidised apartment. There is a small charge for this service. In many cases, finding a subsidised apartment can take many years.
