Course description

It is only possible to move into a subsidised flat under specific conditions. Therefore, an application for registration need to be sent to the Office for Housing and Migration.

As part of the processing of your application, the private space requirement (principle: 1 room per person, a separate living room is not provided) and the urgency of the housing search will be identified. The urgency is categorised on the basis of a points table. Depending on the level of earnings, registration is valid for an optimum of two years from the date of the choice.

During this period, you can look for flats on SOWON and use. The 5 candidates with the highest urgency will then receive a composed offer of accommodation (nomination) with the contact information of the property owners to see the accommodation. The proprietors then decide who gets the flat.

You can send your application online on SOWON or using the paper form. You can discover more information on online applications in the flyer "Online housing application" and in the explanatory video "Online housing application".

After registration (alert), you will be shown all available subsidised flats on SOWON that match your family. You can obtain as much as three flats at the exact same time. You can discover an overview of the housing search through SOWON in the leaflet "Housing Search Online".

Munich Model flats are not provided on SOWON, but are allocated directly by the proprietors. You can find current housing deals on residential or commercial property websites such as ImmobilienScout24.

Depending on the size of your home, it might take numerous months or even several years before a flat can be placed. We recommend that you continue to look for flats on the open rental market.
