The Finnish Social Insurance Institution (Kela) said Wednesday that the number of housing support claimants had jumped by more than 15 per cent to about 450,000 last year, a figure not seen since 1994 when Kela began processing housing support applications.

Kela added that housing support claimant numbers had risen because of rising unemployment.
