Housing Promotion – Rental Housing for Communal Living Arrangements

This funding program targets various applicants in the state of Lower Saxony who wish to create rental housing for communal living arrangements. The goal is to specifically support construction projects tailored to the needs of older people, people with disabilities, as well as living groups and shared flats. The funding is geographically limited to Lower Saxony.

The program promotes construction measures for the creation of rental housing for communal living arrangements. This includes new construction as well as the conversion, renovation, and expansion of existing buildings. Projects in the areas of housing construction and social infrastructure are supported, which must adhere to specific income limits and meet certain quality standards.

The funding primarily takes the form of a loan, supplemented by specific grants for barrier-free apartments and repayment subsidies for low-income households. The amount of funding depends on the total costs of the project.

To be eligible for funding, applicants and projects must meet certain criteria. These include structural requirements for the building, income limits for tenants, and the provision of own contributions. The existence of a housing supply concept is also required in some cases.

The application process is clearly defined and requires early submission of documents to the responsible local authorities. Applications are evaluated based on the funding guidelines, without an explicitly competitive selection process.

This funding program is based on specific guidelines and laws of the state of Lower Saxony. These legal foundations define the framework and conditions for housing promotion.
