Społeczna Agencja Najmu (SAN) we Wrocławiu is a municipal housing programme operated by the Fundacja Inicjowania Rozwoju Społecznego and co-financed by the Municipality of Wrocław. It was established in 2024 as part of the city’s housing policy.23 Its work is local, focused on Wrocław.
The programme is intended for individuals and families with low or moderate incomes who have difficulty renting on the commercial market but earn too much to qualify for municipal housing—the group described as being in the “rental gap.”3 SAN leases homes from private owners and then rents them to eligible tenants at lower prices than those generally available on the commercial market.13
SAN manages the properties and handles tenant selection, administration and legal support, while serving as the contractual party for owners. The agency says this arrangement is intended to provide owners with more predictable income and protection against rental-related risks, and tenants with stable, long-term rental conditions.3 The programme also offers the possibility of rent subsidies, including through the BGK “Mieszkanie na Start” programme and an EU-funded project; the city’s website states that subsidies may reach PLN 1,400 per month.13
The city-wide programme is delivered in cooperation with Wrocław’s municipal housing department. The available sources identify Anna Pełdiak-Czub as director of SAN Wrocław.11 The agency’s stated plans include making at least 180 affordable homes available by 2029.1
