State subsidy for the new build 2026

Every federal state provides subsidies via its state funding bank supplementary to KfW — with loans or grants. Here you will find the funding bank and typical approach per state as well as five programs in detail.

Find suitable subsidy

What do the state programs provide?

In addition to the nationwide KfW subsidy nearly every federal state maintains its own programs for the new build of owner-occupied home ownership — in part as low-interest loan, in part as grant, often with income limits and family components. Many can be combined with KFN (297/298) and WEF (300). Scope and conditions differ significantly from state to state; the respective state funding bank is always binding (Source: state funding banks, Stand 2026).

Frequent questions on state subsidy

Answers regarding combinability, application and design of the state programs — with source and Stand 2026.

Can state subsidy be combined with the KfW subsidy?
In many cases yes. State funding banks often view their new build programs as a supplement to the KfW subsidy, so that state loans or grants can be combined with KFN (297/298) and WEF (300). Each state funding bank defines the exact combination rules itself (Source: state funding banks, Stand 2026).
Where do I apply for state subsidy?
Not with the KfW, but with the respective state funding bank of your federal state — usually through the house bank or directly with the funding bank. As with the KfW the rule generally applies: application prior to start of the project (Source: state funding banks, Stand 2026).
Is there a new build subsidy in every federal state?
Almost every federal state operates a funding bank with housing or family programs; scope, target group and conditions differ significantly however. Some states rely on low-interest loans, others on grants, often with income limits and owner-occupation requirement (Source: state funding banks, Stand 2026).
Are the state programs grants or loans?
Both are possible. Depending on state and program there are low-interest loans, grants or a combination. For reliable conditions the respective state funding bank is always authoritative (Source: state funding banks, Stand 2026).
Is it worth checking the state subsidy in addition to KfW?
As a rule yes — state funds often remain unused because builder-owners do not know them. Since many programs can be combined with the KfW subsidy, a brief check with the state funding bank can be financially worthwhile (Source: state funding banks, Stand 2026).
