The Housing Promotion Department of Wiesbaden City Council is the responsible housing promotion agency within the meaning of Section 25 of the Hessian Housing Promotion Act (HWoFG). Households seeking social housing in Hesse are mainly concentrated in the independent cities and surrounding districts. Wiesbaden is even in the top third of Hesse's districts and independent cities.

Despite the tight market situation and capacity bottlenecks in building land development in recent years, the housing stock in Wiesbaden has seen many new additions. We are endeavoring to ensure that the (subsidized) housing stock continues to grow in line with demand. The funding conditions were further improved with the new version of the guidelines for social rental housing funding in 2020. For example, the subsidy interest rate was reduced to zero percent and the loan amounts and subsidies were further increased.

We can provide you with information on the state subsidy programs and the supplementary municipal subsidy program. We will provide you with comprehensive advice and carry out the necessary application process with you.

Funding is available for

• New construction of housing for low-income or middle-income households,
• New build housing for trainees and/or students,
• Promotion of ownership in new builds and the purchase of existing housing,
• Modernization of existing housing,
• Disability-friendly conversions of owner-occupied apartments and owner-occupied homes,
• Acquisition of occupancy rights to existing apartments.
