English term or phrase: mortgage
In the last sentence below.

"The European Union and the Member States... will support the creation and the renewal of social housing or transit housing destined for people earning the lowest incomes. The Union and the Member States should also take fitted measures in order to make more attainable the renting of average housing for people with average incomes, who meet increasing difficulties in finding housing, particularly in the huge cities on one hand, and improve the access to property for people with average or low incomes, notably by making easier the lending of mortgage at conditions adapted to their situation."

inteckningslån, bolån
Explanation:
This is not written in proper English. What they mean to say is probably, facilitating housing loans, or facilitating mortgage loans
Although a mortgage, in a strict legal sense is the document that creates a security interest in a property, in common usage, it has come to mean the loan itself.
