Housing Promotion of rental housing for the elderly and people with disabilities
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.
Who should I contact?
The responsibility lies with the district and the independent city in whose area you are planning the construction project.
