Wohnungsbau Förderung von Mietwohnraum für ältere Menschen und Menschen mit Behinderung

As the sponsor of a new building, expansion or conversion of apartments, residential groups or shared flats for senior citizens, people with disabilities and people in need of help and care, you can receive state funding as part of social housing subsidies. Construction projects for "assisted living" have priority. Measures for energy-efficient modernisation are also funded.

Documents may be required. Please contact the competent authority.

• For 30 to 35 years, the subsidised housing may only be rented to elderly people (aged 60 and over), people with disabilities (with a degree of disability of at least 50%) or persons in need of assistance and care (care allowance level 1 and higher) whose income does not exceed certain income limits.
• The size of the apartment must be appropriate to the size of the tenant's household.
• Minimum personal contribution: should be 25% of the total costs, but at least 15% (only in exceptional cases).
• In the energetic modernization of rental housing, which was completed by 01.01.1995.

Who can receive funding?

Natural and legal persons under public and private law as well as partnerships.

What can be funded:

• New building
• Expansion/conversion or extension
• Energy-efficient modernization

There is no legal entitlement to funding.

NBank charges a processing fee of 1% of the total amount granted.

Construction work must not have begun before a funding commitment was granted.

In addition, the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) offers low-interest loans for the age-appropriate conversion of housing as a further funding option. With various building blocks, older people in particular can be enabled to use the property in a largely barrier-free, or at least barrier-reduced, way within their traditional home and their familiar social environment.

As a provider of new construction, expansion or conversion of rental housing for the elderly and people with disabilities, you can receive state subsidies.

The responsibility lies with the district and the independent city in whose area you are planning the construction project.
