Brandenburg Maintains Social Housing Funding Despite Budget Constraints

The government commits to approximately €500 million annually for the next two years, but critics argue the funds lack new investments for housing projects.

Overview

  • Brandenburg will allocate around €500 million annually to social housing funding for 2025 and 2026, continuing its program despite financial pressures.
  • The planned budget reflects slight cuts compared to €545 million in 2023 and €529 million in 2022, highlighting fiscal limitations.
  • Finance Minister Robert Crumbach stated the funding would support ongoing projects and allow for some new approvals, though resources remain tight.
  • The Verband Berlin-Brandenburgischer Wohnungsunternehmen criticized the plan, claiming the funds largely consist of carry-over amounts and lack provisions for new housing developments.
  • Building Minister Detlef Tabbert emphasized the need for austerity, noting limited scope for expanding social housing investments amidst rising costs.
