Housing promotion: Housing construction Promotion of social rental housing
Service description
For all rental housing subsidy programs offered here, the recipient assumes obligations in return for the subsidy funds, in particular occupancy and rent commitments. They undertake to rent only to households that meet the specified income limits and not to charge more than the agreed rent, which is regularly below the market rent level.
Funding is granted for individual projects on the basis of the published funding programs, which conclusively define the funding requirements and conditions, through funding commitments in accordance with the available budget funds. Recipients of funding can be both domestic and foreign investors (e.g. companies, private individuals). Funding is available on equal terms to anyone who builds a project described in the funding programs or provides existing housing and complies with the required occupancy and rental commitments.
The funding decision (funding commitment) determines in particular the purpose of the funding, the amount and type of use of the grants as well as the type and duration of the occupancy and rental commitments to be observed by the funding recipient.
Note: There is no legal entitlement to funding.
What documents are required?
Application forms and further information can be obtained from the Investitions- und Strukturbank Rheinland-Pfalz (ISB).
What fees apply?
There are no fees.
What deadlines do I have to observe?
The application for funding must be submitted before the start of the construction project.
Legal basis
What else should I know?
For certain ISB development programs (development loans), one-off repayment subsidies are granted in addition to low-interest loans. Repayment subsidies are provided, for example, for the construction, acquisition or modernization of owner-occupied or rented housing.
Repayment grants reduce the promotional loans at the time repayment begins, so that interest and repayment are only payable on the reduced amount.
Depending on the type of loan, the repayment subsidies amount to between 5 % and 50 % of the ISB loans.
The application for a repayment grant must be submitted together with the application for the ISB loan.
