The project will finance social and affordable housing units in the Austrian state of Lower Austria.

Additionality and Impact

The Project entails the construction of some 2,900 new social and affordable housing units, contributing to the promotion of Integrated Urban Development in the region of Lower Austria. The investment schemes will be part of well-defined integrated local urban development plans and facilitate the development of sustainable communities and contribute to the promotion of social mix addressing strong social housing demand in Lower Austria.
