Companies and private individuals can receive funding under the current Land Housing Promotion Programme for the following projects specifically for households with particular housing difficulties:
- New construction or acquisition of new rental housing,
- Alteration and extension measures to create rented housing,
- Establishment of rental and occupancy commitments in the rental housing stock.
Additional funding is possible in particular for
- from the achievement of a so-called energy-saving house
- Creation of barrier-free housing or age-appropriate conversion of rented housing,
- additional measures to design the residential environment and to stabilise and maintain neighbourhood structures.
Funding is provided in the form of loans and, in some cases, grants. The low-interest loans are limited in time.
The subsidised rented housing is committed for a certain period of time exclusively or primarily for the benefit of households entitled to housing (special occupancy commitment).
Note:
Households entitled to housing are households with low income AND additional difficulties in accessing the housing market due to certain characteristics.
Which groups of people fulfil these characteristics is decided by the highest Land authority in consultation with the L-Bank.
The subsidised housing must be let to the tenant during the commitment period for a reduced basic rent compared to the respective local comparable rent (rent commitment).
The promotion for the benefit of households with special housing difficulties is modelled on the general social rental housing promotion. Therefore, only the special features of the promotion for households with special difficulties in housing provision are described here.
