How it works

These are the key steps, in the right order. Answer the short questions; then you see exactly what applies to you and what is added.

  1. 1Check if this funding fits youDisability-friendly means the home suits the needs of people with disabilities. This is about a single flat that is rented, municipal or owned.Key step
    Why?
    A house, an allotment garden or shared parts of a building have their own routes.
    What you do
    MA 50 and MA 25 are city offices for funding and technical matters. The app does not check your health or the amount of funding.
    Where?
    MA 50 / MA 25Directly with the named service
    In detail

    Obtain qualified confirmation of your apartment-funding route

    This route organises a confirmed rented, municipal or owned individual apartment. Detached home, allotment, shared building parts and an age-related alternative scheme need their own appropriate route. The app assesses neither health nor standard compliance nor funding amount.

  2. 2Ask experts which changes you needHere you clarify with experts which changes you need. The ÖNORM is an Austrian standard for how to build correctly.Key step
    Why?
    An authorised company must do the work. Work you do yourself or material only does not count.
    What you do
    Call MA 25: +43 1 4000 25345. Or the information point: +43 1 4000 74860. You visit the information point only with an appointment.
    Where?
    MA 25 / FachfirmaDirectly with the named service
    In detail

    Agree professional advice, measures and actual standard requirements

    Personally contact MA 25 competence service at +43 1 4000 25345 or information point at +43 1 4000 74860. Personal information-point visits require an arranged appointment. Confirm authorised contractor and actual ÖNORM execution; do not treat self-performed work or material-only costs as funded professional work.

  3. 3Copy proof of your disabilityYou need proof of your disability. That is a copy of your disability ID (Behindertenausweis) or proof of care benefit (Pflegegeld). Care benefit is money for people who need care.Key step
    Why?
    This shows that the funding is meant for you.
    What you do
    Ask the funding office which proof fits. A copy is enough, according to the official page. The app does not judge your health.
    Where?
    MA 50Directly with the named service

    What you need

    • Actually accepted disability or care-benefit evidence

      Copy; directly review exact requirement.

    Prepare actually accepted evidence as a copy

    Official page specifies a copy of disability ID or appropriate care-benefit evidence. Directly clarify actual acceptance with the funding service; no app health or benefit-level assessment and no universal original requirement.

  4. 4Get the owner's consentConsent means the owner of the home agrees. If you rent, you ask your landlord. In a municipal flat you ask Wiener Wohnen.Key step
    Why?
    Without consent the application does not work. If you own the home, you show this with the land register (Grundbuch). That is an official list of owners.
    What you do
    Get the written consent or the proof. But the consent is not a building permit and not funding.
    Where?
    MA 50 / EigentümerDirectly with the named service

    What you need

    • Actual landlord or Wiener Wohnen consent
      Document explained · Depends on your case

      Use the appropriate rented or municipal apartment route.

  5. 5Sort your cost receiptsHere you gather cost papers. When planning, that is a quote. After the work, it is invoices.Key step
    Why?
    The costs must be listed one by one. A total price alone is not enough.
    What you do
    Check that the name and date on the invoice are right. Do not enter amounts or bank details in the navigator.

  7. 7Prepare the final statementThe final settlement comes after the work. Then the funding amount is worked out.Key step
    Why?
    MA 25 checks the work. MA 50 does the settlement. Only after that can money come.
    What you do
    Read the conditions of the assurance carefully. Keep the completion papers ready. Do not count on money before everything is checked.
    Where?
    MA 50 / MA 25Directly with the named service
    In detail

    Review actual assurance and final-settlement conditions

    Directly agree your assurance, professional execution, completion records and actual final settlement. MA 25 reviews execution and MA 50 settles; assume no payout without actual reviewed completion.
