4 Alliance for Berlin © Verband Berlin-Brandenburgischer Wohnungsunternehmen e.V. (BBU) In order to combat the increasingly narrow market for affordable living space, the Senate Department for Urban Development and the Environment and the Senate Department of Finance have agreed to form the “Alliance for Social Housing Policy and Affordable Rent“ with the six municipal housing societies of Berlin. The Alliance was signed on 4 September 2012, is valid initially until 2016, and specifies solutions and measures with which the partners will ensure the availability of affordable housing. Berlin is growing, rents are increasing Especially in the sought-after inner-city areas, the demand for rental accommodation is growing faster than the supply. For this reason, the housing market surplus is dwindling ever more, and rents are rising faster than in the past decade – especially in new buildings, but increasingly also in the existing building stock. The main reasons: our city is growing. Ever more people are moving to Berlin. At the same time, more and more Berliners are living alone. Already today, 54 percent of all Berlin households are single-person households.
Senator Michael Müller (Senate Department for Urban Development and the Environment) and member of the board of directors Maren Kern (Verband Berlin-Brandenburgischer Wohnungsunternehmen e.V., Federation of housing companies and cooperatives in Berlin and Brandenburg) at the signing of the Rent Alliance with the board members and managements of the six municipal housing societies Hendrik Jellema (GEWOBAG), Stefanie Frensch (HOWOGE), Jörg Franzen (GESOBAU), Lars Ernst (WBM), Frank Bielka (degewo) and Ingo Malter (STADT UND LAND) 5 Strong partners take countermeasures The goal of the housing policy of the Berlin Senate is to keep rents in our growing city affordable and to provide adequate living space for households whose income falls behind the general income trend. The diversity and character of individual neighbourhoods must be preserved. The typical “Berlin mixture“ should be strengthened so that people with different income levels, of different social and cultural backgrounds, continue to live together in our residential quarters. Senatsverwaltung für Stadtentwicklung und Umwelt Senatsverwaltung für Finanzen Berlin’s municipal housing societies are core partners in implementing this urban development and housing policy. They create considerable benefits for our city by • consequently helping to curb rent prices through their own rent price policies, • playing a leading role in refurbishing buildings for energy efficiency and climate protection, • adapting their building stock to the requirements imposed by demographic change, and • actively supporting social, demographic and cultural integration in Berlin’s residential neighbourhoods.
