Funding of the Foundation "Living and Housing Together"

The foundation "Living and Housing Together" continuously supports projects and initiatives in Hamburg residential neighborhoods that promote neighborly coexistence. As a grant provider, it targets non-profit organizations, interest groups, associations, public institutions, and private individuals. Awarded are ideas that enable intergenerational encounters, strengthen social participation, and enrich democratic living together locally. Thematically, the funding covers commitment to social cohesion and democracy, social affairs, regional development, work & social issues, as well as agriculture & rural development. Applications can be submitted throughout the year, provided the project takes place within the neighborhood and clearly aims to establish contacts between neighbors and build vibrant communities.

A wide variety of projects are supported: from open neighborhood meetings and intercultural encounter formats to intergenerational playgroups and community-oriented initiatives in the rural outskirts of Hamburg. The foundation provides financial resources to cover material, personnel, and event costs to enable sustainable networks and participatory formats. Applicants benefit from a straightforward application process without fixed deadlines and individual consultation by the grant provider. This fosters lively neighborhoods where young and old engage in regular exchange and jointly participate in shaping their immediate living environment.
