More than 20 thousand buildings in Latvian cities and rural areas, which are occupied, need renovation. These buildings are inhabited by hundreds of thousands of households with different level of income, located in areas with different level of socio-economic development. Late renovation can be facilitation factor for critical condition of particular residential buildings and consequently lead to their exclusion from the housing fund, thus increasing social tension in the social housing sector. Current renovation rate is insufficient and it cannot reduce the increased number of houses which need renovation. One of the key factors affecting the increase of renovation intensity is the technical condition of housing fund and inadequate financing compared with the household income.
