Non-Investive Urban Development Funding (VwV-NIS)

The "Non-Investive Urban Development Funding (VwV-NIS)" program targets municipalities in Baden-Württemberg. It aims to eliminate urban deficiencies, improve quality of life, and sustainably strengthen social cohesion and integration in designated regeneration areas. The funding supports projects that complement urban development and account for demographic and climatic changes.

The program funds non-investive measures that support the integrated development concept in regeneration areas and could not be realized, or not to the intended extent, without this grant. This includes a wide range of activities aimed at strengthening social cohesion and the diversity of use in the neighborhood.

Funding is provided as a grant and covers a large part of the eligible costs. There is a fixed maximum amount per regeneration area and a possible duration of up to five years, taking into account annual budgetary funds.

Specific legal and administrative conditions apply to the application and implementation of projects. These include compliance with the start of measures after approval, the possibility of cooperation with third parties, and regulations for cumulating with other funding.

The application procedure for non-investive urban development funding takes place within the framework of annual tender rounds. Municipalities submit their applications to the competent regional council, which reviews them and submits them to the Ministry for State Development and Housing for decision.

The "Non-Investive Urban Development Funding (VwV-NIS)" program is based on a specific administrative regulation of the Ministry for State Development and Housing. It is also embedded in a comprehensive legal framework that regulates the allocation of public funds in Baden-Württemberg.
