📋 Tender Overview
The state government decided to increase housing subsidies as part of the Styrian anti-inflation package. VP housing councilor Hans Seitinger and SP club chairman Hannes Schwarz emphasize that raising the upper limit for construction costs and increasing the eligible costs means that housing remains affordable.Building cost ceiling is raisedIn order to keep the construction costs and consequently also the rents in non-profit housing as low as possible the Styrian housing subsidies provide for an upper limit for construction costs. To date this has been EUR 2100 or EUR 2350 per square meter including for innovative energy projects wooden constructions small-scale buildings projects with common rooms objects in town centers and assisted living or assisted living. In recent months however construction costs have risen massively so that in many cases it was no longer possible to comply with the upper limits. The rising construction costs threatened to bring non-profit housing to a standstill explains the state councilor for housing Hans Seitinger. The state of Styria has therefore raised the upper building cost limits to EUR 2600 and EUR 2850 respectively. affordabilityEligible costs also increasedSo that high-quality and affordable living space can continue to be built in Styria despite the increased costs the state of Styria is increasing not only the upper building cost limits but also the eligible costs in the multi-storey building program 202223 from EUR 1800m to EUR 2100m. This measure ensures that housing remains affordable said VP housing councilor Hans Seitinger and SP club chairman Hannes Schwarz.StatementsHousing Councilor Hans Seitinger In recent years many have fled from the savings book to the land register. This has increased the cost of real estate enormously. At the same time construction costs have also exploded. In order to guarantee affordable housing in subsidized multi-storey buildings in the future we have increased the subsidy. In a 60 square meter apartment in the current multi-storey building program tenants save more than 250 euros per year in additional costs.SP club chairman Hannes Schwarz High inflation makes housing expensive. More and more people are finding it difficult to afford a roof over their heads. The state of Styria helps where it can - for example with housing support and the heating cost subsidy but also with the promotion of non-profit housing which we have now been able to increase. We will not let the Styrians down
