Platform: INSTAGRAM Author: @technology --- Caption/Description --- Swipe ⬅️ to see how some places use grants, housing support, and startup funding to attract new residents into smaller communities 🌍💸 These programs are real, but they are not free money. Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Japan, Chile, Tulsa, Albinen, Antikythera, Legrad, and some Spanish towns all have different rules around residency, renovation, work, family status, property ownership, or business eligibility.

Would you move somewhere new for financial support?
