The Central German associations of the socially oriented housing industry are calling for realistic political framework conditions, reliable funding programs and practicable requirements for climate protection. Otherwise, investments in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia could fail to materialize - with serious consequences for affordable housing, social stability and the achievement of climate targets, they said in a joint statement.
In many places, the necessary funding framework is lacking, and in Saxony-Anhalt there are currently no active housing promotion programs available at all, said Jens Zillmann, Association Director of the Saxony-Anhalt Housing Industry Association. "If we want to secure affordable housing, we now need a viable, reliable funding program for the refurbishment of existing housing stock in the housing industry."
