📋 Tender Overview
The federal government has contributed to the financing of housing and urban development funding for the federal states. At todays meeting of the Construction Ministerial Conference the federal and state governments agreed on viable solutions just in time for the end of the year.Housing Minister Dr. Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut said today December 16 after the meeting in Berlin Our effort was worth it. I am relieved and very pleased that after long negotiations we were able to achieve a sustainable result in both housing and urban development with which both the federal states and the federal government can be satisfied. This ensures that the federal grants earmarked for Baden-Wrttemberg flow and we can get both funding programs underway as quickly as possible. The signing of the administrative agreements was preceded by months of discussions. In the end everyones will to agree and their willingness to compromise won emphasized the minister.The funds now promised by the federal government for housing promotion create an important basis for us to be able to advance social housing which is so important next year. Baden will receive a total of one billion euros in federal funds available for housing promotion in 2020 -Wuerttemberg around 130 million euros. For me three points were particularly important which are now also expressed in the agreement First the federal concept has been clearly reflected. Therefore the regulations of the individual countries are decisive up to which income limits households receive housing subsidies. Secondly the dynamic development of Baden-Wrttemberg is finally being taken into account in the federal financial allocations in housing subsidies. The countrys share will increase from around 8 percent to around 13 percent of federal financial allocations in the future. And thirdly the federal states retain the necessary design options in order to be able to use their own funds in a targeted manner ie for Baden-Wrttemberg for example there is still the possibility of promoting rental and occupancy commitments to existing rental apartments as well as the purchase of used real estate for self-use summed up Hoffmeister herb.We can also be satisfied with the urban development funding. With the agreement of the states and the federal government an important course was set for us to be able to support the cities and municipalities in their projects said the minister. Baden-Wrttemberg therefore receives federal financial aid amounting to around 77 million euros. The program decision on the 2020 urban development funding program will be made in spring. Above all space must be available in order to create new living space. Projects for the activation of areas and for the needs-based renovation of the housing stock are therefore a priority in our program.
