FITHOME uses an innovative fiscal instrument, leveraging the "Betterment Tax" to provide accessible, low-risk financing for home renovation
100% Financing, Made Simple
Citizens can have their homes renovated without any up-front investments. On behalf of the municipality, DeWoonpas covers the cost of renovation and assumes responsibility for maintenance of the works.
The homeowner repays the up-front investment monthly, over a fixed period of time up to 30 years. This repayment is a voluntary tax paid to the municipality that never exceeds the savings achieved by the retrofit.
Accurate, high-quality end-to-end digital solutions are used to propose the optimal package of measures for each individual home
