Housing construction: Apply for funding for general social rental housing

For the creation of social rental housing through construction, acquisition, modernization or through the acquisition of occupancy rights, you can receive housing subsidies if the requirements are met. Responsibility for social housing subsidies lies with the respective federal state.

Your federal state can provide you with funding for the creation of rental housing within the framework of social housing promotion. You do not have a legal entitlement to funding for your project.

Funding is available for

• Housing construction, including the first-time acquisition of new housing,
• the modernization of living space
• the acquisition of occupancy rights,
• the acquisition of existing housing,

if rent and occupancy commitments are to be established for the rental housing.

Beneficiaries can be natural and legal persons.

Funding is provided in accordance with the provisions of the respective federal state by granting non-repayable subsidies and/or low-interest loans.

The subsidized rental housing is tied for a certain period of time in favor of households entitled to housing (occupancy commitment).

During the commitment period, maximum permissible rents below the local comparative rent or other measures can be determined to reduce housing costs for eligible households (rent control).
