Housing promotion

Building and living are topics that are associated with high costs. The step towards home ownership, whether in the form of a condominium or an owner-occupied home, is therefore very carefully considered and weighed up by those interested in building or buying. Incentives to become a homeowner are created by the federal and state governments by providing financial support through subsidy programs.

Wolfsburg is a child and family-oriented city and is characterized by an excellent municipal family policy. In addition to a diverse range of services for families, the city has a special support program for building and housing. This improves the starting conditions for home ownership for young people and families.
