Tampereen Kotilinnasäätiö

Founded in 1962, Tampereen Kotilinnasäätiö is a foundation based in Tampere, Finland working on elderly care, housing & homelessness.

Tampereen Kotilinnasäätiö is a registered foundation founded in 1962 that promotes and supports independent living for elderly and retired people in the Tampere region, Finland. It rents affordable, well-equipped apartments to people aged over 55, including singles and couples, and selects tenants based on housing need and financial circumstances. The foundation operates on a self-sustaining principle, setting rents so that its activities break even, and receives no tax or public support for its operating costs. It owns about 1,700 rental apartments across 23 properties in various parts of Tampere. Residents' committees in most buildings organise shared social activities, and residents can order home care, meal and shopping services through the municipality.
