Discover Kokelv – A Free Trial Home for Families

Selected families can try living for free in the village of Kokelv in Hammerfest Municipality before deciding whether to settle there permanently.

Welcome to Families with Children

The program is open to families with children under the age of 18 or expecting a child. You must not already live in Hammerfest Municipality or own a home there.

What Do You Get?

  • Free municipal housing for one year
  • Half-price rent for the second year
  • After that, you pay the regular municipal rent if you stay in the same home, or you may purchase the home at market value
  • Guaranteed access to school and kindergarten

Each family will be assigned a mentor and invited to social and cultural events to help you get to know the local community.

Hammerfest Municipality can also assist with information about job opportunities, starting your own business, or facilitating remote work where possible.
