Baden-Württemberg’s social-rental line under the Landeswohnraumförderungsgesetz (LWoFG) and the VwV-Wohnungsbau BW 2022 (Neufassung 01.04.2025, valid to 31.03.2032), Abschnitt II. It is explicitly rechtsformneutral: the applicant is the Bauherr — “Wohnungsunternehmen, Wohnungsgenossenschaft, Gemeinde, sonstige Körperschaft oder Privatperson”. An eG, e.V., gGmbH, Syndikat-Haus-GmbH, GbR or Stiftung that builds rental flats and holds them qualifies; the object must stay rental, so a WEG-style Baugruppe uses the ownership line instead.
- Subsidy is a fixed share: 40% of the förderfähige Gesamtkosten at the reference case of a 33% rent cut and a 30-year binding (48% municipal line), scaling with the chosen cut (20–40%) and binding (10/15/25/30/40 yr).
- Cost base (Stand 16.01.2026): land value +10% plus a fixed €5,250/m² Wohnfläche, of which 80% is förderfähig → €4,200/m². 20% Eigenkapital is mandatory.
- Loan or grant: a 0.00% p.a. loan for 10/15/25/30 years (18 months tilgungsfrei) with a Tilgungsnachlass, or one full Zuschuss (no partial conversion). Plus €18,000/unit at EH 55, €4,000/unit at EH 40, up to +25% for an innovatives Bauvorhaben, €1,500/unit for flexible layouts, €5,000 per extra unit.
- Gates: tenants need a Wohnberechtigungsschein; income limit €60,350 for 1–2 persons, +€9,000 per person from the third (Erlass 01.12.2025). Neubaustandard Plus is mandatory.
- Apply before start at the Wohnraumförderungsstelle (Vordruck 9023), which forwards to the L-Bank. No legal entitlement; decided in order of Bewilligungsreife.
Erbbaurecht is fundable: where the group does not buy the land, Erbbauzinsen up to 3.00% p.a. of the eligible land value are subsidised as a grant (Abschnitt II A Nr. 3) — useful on Stiftung- or municipality-leased sites.
Direktkredite can count as Eigenkapital if left with the borrower for 30 years (or the L-Bank loan’s term), subordinated, without interim interest, repayment or security ranking ahead of the L-Bank; “Eigenkapital finanzierende Darlehen Dritter” may carry market-rate interest. This is the gate a syndikat-direktkredit stack must pass.
A shared flat is possible inside the binding: rooms of a Sozialmietwohnung may be let individually if each is reached via common space and the room plus its share of common area meets the size rules. Nachhaltigkeitszertifizierung only bites above 100 units; DAWI over-compensation is checked ex ante and every three years. L-Bank states the line can sit in a wider package but not be combined with other state lines for the same measure; KfW money (kfw-297-298, kfw-261) is a separate track.
