Mietwohnraum mit Belegungsbindung Förderung

Developers can apply for subsidies for the construction of rental housing with rent and occupancy restrictions (so-called social housing) as part of the social housing promotion program of the state of Brandenburg.

With the social housing promotion program, the state of Brandenburg creates incentives for the construction or development of housing with rent and occupancy restrictions (so-called social housing). The aim is to support households with socially acceptable rents who are unable to find suitable housing on the market due to their low income. At the same time, the funding objectives are intended to contribute to stable housing and neighborhood conditions as well as to accessibility, intergenerational equity and climate protection.

For the creation of social housing in conjunction with rent and occupancy control, builders and owners can apply for state funding in the form of grants, subsidized loans or other non-cash benefits. This applies to both new construction and the restoration of living space. In addition, the modernization and repair of rental apartments is supported with loans.

For so-called social housing, there is a time-limited maximum rent that is tied to the subsidy (generally below the local basic rent) and a restriction on letting to tenants entitled to housing. A certificate of eligibility for housing (WBS) is therefore a prerequisite for renting subsidized apartments.

You can apply to the Investitions- und Landesbank for funding for the creation or modernization and repair of rental housing. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Planning (MIL) of the State of Brandenburg is responsible for the design of and compliance with the funding conditions as well as the decision on funding.
