According to ZDFheute, citing a parliamentary inquiry by the Left Party, Germany funded social housing construction less in 2025 than in 2024. The exact funding figures and the extent of the decline were not disclosed.
At the same time, the total number of social housing units nationwide is falling. The Left Party obtained the data through a parliamentary inquiry to the Federal Ministry for Housing. The development continues a long-term trend: the number of rent-controlled apartments has been declining for years, while demand is rising.
