The first edition in the spring was applied for by more than 350,000 Lower Austrian households, the second edition in the fall will deliberately support the lower third of income
St. Pölten (OTS) – “The supposed controlling state council should perhaps check them better before sending out their mailings. The housing and heating subsidy from the spring and the next one, which will be decided in the fall, has nothing to do with subsidized housing. These are only linked to income limits. It doesn’t matter whether someone lives in their own home or rents. Regardless of whether someone lives in a house or an apartment. It doesn’t matter whether you heat your own four walls with gas, oil, wood or local heating. More than 350,000 households received the first housing and heating subsidies in the spring. And while the first housing and heating subsidy was deliberately broader as a quick cushioning measure, the next one will specifically benefit the lower third of income – namely those who need support most. If Hergovich sees it differently, it’s a shame – but we have to take note of it. It is incomprehensible why he is repeatedly peddling deliberately false reports,” said VPNÖ state manager Matthias Zauner, who further emphasized: “There is also one side that is recommended to him: Under www.noe-wohnbau.at/wohnungssuche You can find all the subsidized apartments that are currently available. Then next time he won’t have to refer to private apartment landlords for his mailing. Everything has already been said about his fictitious housing construction freeze.”
