Check 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.
