IBB assistance is an option for low-income Istanbul homeowners considering renewal, not an automatic payment to everyone. Project and household eligibility should be assessed before relying on a percentage.
Prepared on 20 October 2026, this guide explains a programme publicly announced since 2024; it is not a new assistance package announced today.
Read the scope carefully
According to IBB, support targets low-income households in residential projects built in 1999 or earlier, agreed with KİPTAŞ under İstanbul Yenileniyor. Income, retirement and property-ownership conditions apply; 65% is a ceiling.
Do not overlook area and resale conditions
The İstanbul Yenileniyor FAQ limits assistance to the portion of residential units up to 80 m². A five-year resale restriction runs from delivery; earlier sale entails repayment with public-receivables interest.
A practical check for homeowners
Our recommendation: prepare income and ownership documents, and calculate unsupported space, remaining construction debt and temporary accommodation separately. Request a written case-specific assessment from the relevant authority. Do not assume this support can be combined with Yarısı Bizden or other schemes. This guide is neither an eligibility decision nor a payment guarantee.
Sources and dates
Sources checked: 20 October 2026. The source pages show no explicit last-updated date. The programme dates back to 2024; the authority’s assessment at application remains decisive.
