With the social housing promotion program, the state of Brandenburg creates incentives for the construction or refurbishment of housing with rent and occupancy control (so-called social housing). The aim is to support households that cannot find adequate housing on the market due to low income with socially acceptable rents. At the same time, the funding purposes are intended to contribute to stable living and neighbourhood conditions as well as accessibility, intergenerational justice and climate protection.

For the creation of social housing in connection with rent and occupancy control, builders or owners can apply for state subsidies in the form of grants, concessional loans or other non-cash benefits. This applies to both new construction and the restoration of housing. In addition, the modernisation and repair of rental housing is supported with loans.

For so-called social housing, there is a time-limited maximum rent linked to the subsidy (usually below the local cold rent) as well as a restriction to renting to tenants entitled to live. A certificate of eligibility for housing (WBS) is therefore a prerequisite for renting subsidized apartments.

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

Natural and legal persons are eligible to apply as builders or owners. Measures in defined areas (e.g. redevelopment and development areas, "priority areas for housing", urban redevelopment areas) are eligible for funding. Other requirements are:

• Proof of the financial viability of the project
• Own contributions in the amount of at least 15 percent of the total costs for the modernization and repair of rental apartments and 20 percent of the total costs for the creation of rental apartments
• Compliance with rent and occupancy requirements for 20 or 25 years after completion
• Compliance with the property requirements defined in the funding guidelines (e.g. with regard to apartment sizes)
• Compliance with the procurement regulations in accordance with point 6.3 of the MietwohnungsbauförderungR

• Application for funding for the creation of new rental housing by the builder or owner, or for the modernization and repair of rental apartments including the necessary facilities
