The Central German associations of the socially oriented housing industry have called for greater political support from the federal government in order to secure affordable housing in the long term. "A close alliance between society, politics and the housing industry is needed in order to approach the transformation processes in our states with optimism for the future," said Matthias Kuplich, Director of the Association of Housing Cooperatives in Saxony-Anhalt, in Leipzig.
The associations from Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia expressed concern about rising construction costs, high interest rates and growing climate protection requirements. These developments jeopardized the economic stability of many housing companies and thus affordable housing for broad sections of the population.
