Saxony-Anhalt’s slice of the federal Junges Wohnen pot, run by IB as a grant for hall places for students and apprentices. Relevant to cohousing because it is the ST line whose recipients are explicitly natürliche und juristische Personen — a youth-housing e.V., gGmbH or eG can be the Bauherr.

  • What: Neuschaffung, Ersterwerb or Modernisierung of Wohnheimplätze for Studierende or Auszubildende, as a Teilbereich of sozialer Wohnungsbau.
  • Who: natürliche und juristische Personen.
  • Bindung: the funded places must serve students or apprentices for at least 25 years from completion, with an initial maximum net cold rent of €6.50/m² in Magdeburg (the figure for other locations is cut off on the live page — open question (not a fact)).
  • Amount / grant rate: not stated on the programme page — open question (not a fact); it is in the Richtlinie Junges Wohnen and the annual Förderaufruf.
  • Path: two-stage. A Projektanmeldung must clear a Vorauswahlverfahren before any application; the 2026 window ran 2 June – 14 July 2026, so a new group must wait for the next Förderaufruf.

Cohousing lens: a generational or student-led project that can live with a 25-year purpose binding gets a grant here that no other Saxony-Anhalt line offers. The 25 years is longer than most Belegungsbindungen elsewhere — see belegungsbindung.
