We are shocked by the recent cuts of the Finnish Government which put student housing and its construction at stake. In its session on spending limits, the Government made significant cuts to the special group investment grants for student housing construction, which makes the commencement of already planned housing projects in the capital region uncertain and complicates the housing situation for students as well as the housing activities of the Aalto University Student Union (AYY).![helsinki kiinteistö](/sites/g/files/flghsv231/files/styles/2_3_288w_125h_d/public/2024-06/Untitled%20design%20%282%29.png?h=10d202d3&itok=nqzzHvDB)
