Expand support for social housing
The SPD wants to expand social housing subsidies according to need and keep funding housing construction with more than 200 million euros a year. The platform describes affordable housing as one of the major challenges of the coming years, to be tackled jointly by the federal government, the state and municipalities.
The SPD wants more low-cost homes. The state should keep paying to help build homes. It will spend more than 200 million euros each year. This also covers dorms for trainees and students.
Funding is also meant to cover company housing and dormitories for trainees and students under the label "Junges Wohnen" (young living). At every university location, dorm places should be available for 20 percent of students. Municipalities are to find it easier to buy land and hold it in reserve, and the state will keep handing them state-owned land for housing and infrastructure. The building code is also to be changed to make serial construction and the conversion of existing buildings into housing easier.
