The state housing construction offensive in Bavaria, which has been announced for years, is still not making any progress. In the past year 2023, BayernHeim, which was founded by the state government specifically for housing construction, was only able to complete 33 apartments in a large residential complex in Freising, according to an answer from the Ministry of Construction to a question from the Greens in the state parliament. In total, BayernHeim had 267 apartments in its portfolio at the turn of the year. As a reminder: In 2018, Minister President Markus Söder (CSU) had set a target of building 10,000 affordable apartments throughout Bavaria by 2025.
"Markus Söder continues to go out on a limb with his promises when it comes to housing construction. However, state housing construction is only progressing at a snail's pace. This can be seen very clearly with BayernHeim," said Jürgen Mistol, spokesperson for the Green Party in the housing sector. The 33 new apartments would therefore fall far short of the already meagre announcement of 89 apartments. This figure was the target set by the Ministry of Construction in February 2023.
