As part of the social housing promotion, your federal state can provide you with subsidies for the creation of rental housing. You do not have a legal claim to funding for your project.

The following are funded:

• housing, including the initial acquisition of new housing;
• the modernisation of living space,
• the acquisition of occupancy rights,
• the acquisition of existing housing,

if rent and occupancy obligations are to be established for the rented accommodation.

Beneficiaries may be natural and legal persons.

Support is provided in accordance with the provisions of the respective federal state through the granting of non-repayable grants and/or low-interest loans.

The subsidised rental accommodation is tied up for a certain period of time in favour of households entitled to residency (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 households entitled to reside (rent commitment).
