Alliance for Berlin<br />
© Verb<strong>and</strong> Berlin-Br<strong>and</strong>enburgischer Wohnungsunternehmen e.V. (BBU)<br />
In order to combat the increasingly narrow market for affordable<br />
living space, the Senate Department for Urban<br />
Development <strong>and</strong> the Environment <strong>and</strong> the Senate Department<br />
of Finance have agreed to form the “Alliance for Social<br />
Housing Policy <strong>and</strong> Affordable Rent“ with the six municipal<br />
housing societies of Berlin. The Alliance was signed<br />
on 4 September 2012, is valid initially until 2016, <strong>and</strong> specifies<br />
solutions <strong>and</strong> measures with which the partners will<br />
ensure the availability of affordable housing.<br />
Berlin is growing, rents are increasing<br />
Especially in the sought-after inner-city areas, the dem<strong>and</strong><br />
for rental accommodation is growing faster than the supply.<br />
For this reason, the housing market surplus is dwindling ever<br />
more, <strong>and</strong> rents are rising faster than in the past decade –<br />
especially in new buildings, but increasingly also in the existing<br />
building stock. The main reasons: our city is growing. Ever<br />
more people are moving to Berlin. At the same time, more<br />
<strong>and</strong> more Berliners are living alone. Already today, 54 percent<br />
of all Berlin households are single-person households.
