Bavarian Housing Program – Rental Housing Open
The Bavarian Housing Program – Rental Housing promotes the creation and adaptation of rental housing for households that cannot adequately provide for themselves on the market. It supports new construction, acquisition, modernization, and barrier-free conversions, including specific incentives for sustainability and urban core densification, to ensure affordable and needs-based housing in the Free State of Bavaria.
Who is funded?
The Bavarian Housing Program is aimed at natural and legal persons who wish to create or adapt rental housing in Bavaria, especially for low-income households or people with disabilities. The funding aims to meet housing needs, utilize existing structures, and support sustainable construction.
What is funded?
The program funds various types of housing measures, including new construction, extension, modernization, and barrier-free adaptations of rental apartments. Specific grants are also awarded for sustainable construction and urban densification. The total costs of measures that meet the program's objectives are eligible for funding.
Type and Scope of Funding
The Bavarian Housing Program offers both loans and supplementary grants, which are based on the income situation of future tenants or the developer's expenditure. The funding amount varies depending on the type of measure and the duration of the occupancy commitment, with special grants also available for sustainability and town center projects.
Conditions and Requirements
The program is subject to specific rules and conditions regarding application, occupancy, technical standards, and budgetary regulations. This includes provisions for accessibility, the appropriateness of living areas, and compliance with EU state aid rules to avoid overcompensation.
Application Procedure
The application procedure takes place via the responsible approval authorities, with the Bavarian State Bank for Real Estate (Bayerische Landesbodenkreditanstalt) involved in the banking review and disbursement of loans and grants. Specific forms must be used, and construction progress is checked for installment payments.
Legal Basis
The Bavarian Housing Program is based on the Housing Promotion Regulations 2023 (WFB 2023), which in turn are based on the Bavarian Housing Promotion Act (BayWoFG). Further budgetary and European regulations govern the implementation and use of the funding.
