Procedure details

Purpose

The Free State of Bavaria promotes the adaptation of existing rental housing to meet the needs of people with disabilities within the framework of the Bavarian Housing Program with a performance-free building loan of up to EUR 10,000.

Object

Owners of rented accommodation can receive a performance-free building loan of up to EUR 10,000 for structural measures to adapt existing rented accommodation to the needs of people with disabilities (e.g. installation of a disabled bathroom or stair lift, construction of a ramp for wheelchair users).

Beneficiaries

Depending on the type of funding, different persons are eligible for funding: In the case of funding for housing construction and modernization measures, these may be the owners of land, heritable building rights or usufructuaries. In the case of funding for the purchase of housing, the purchasers of the housing are eligible for funding. In the case of funding for the granting of occupancy and rental commitments for existing housing, the owners of the housing or other persons entitled to do so are eligible for funding.

Eligible costs

Funding is provided for the total costs of a project, i.e. all costs incurred in connection with the construction, modernization or acquisition of housing.

The actual circumstances at the time of funding approval are decisive.

When purchasing housing for the first time, both the purchase price and the additional acquisition costs (e.g. notary, land registry or land acquisition costs) can be subsidized.

The prerequisite is that the purchase price corresponds to the local housing market and is economically appropriate.

Type and amount

The subsidy is granted as a credit/loan.

For structural measures in existing buildings to adapt rented accommodation to the needs of people with disabilities, owners of rented accommodation can receive a performance-free building loan of up to EUR 10,000.

  • Only households whose income does not exceed the income limits specified in Art. 11 BayWoFG can benefit from the subsidy.
  • Proof of disability in accordance with § 2 Para. 1 SGB IX must be provided.
  • The building project may not be started before the funding has been approved.

There is no legal entitlement to funding.

  • Required Documents
    • Nachweis über das Eigentum am Grundstück
    • Finanzierungsnachweise - Planskizze
    • Nachweis der Behinderung z.B. Schwerbehindertenausweis, fachärztliches Attest
    • Kopie des amtlichen Ausweises

The procedure is a two-stage process:

  1. The application must be submitted to the approval office using the forms and documents provided for this purpose. In the case of a two-family house, the application must be submitted to your district office or district-free city and in the case of a multi-family house to the responsible government (exception: if the rental apartment is located in Augsburg, Munich or Nuremberg, the city is the approval body). Approval is granted by the approval office.
  2. The Bayerische Landesbodenkreditanstalt approves the loan and delivers the approval notice. Application for disbursement must be made to the approval office.

A one-off administrative fee of 1% is charged for the non-performing loan, which is retained upon disbursement.

There are no fixed deadlines for this funding.
