Housing allowance office
What we do
The tasks of the housing allowance office mainly include advising citizens seeking advice on housing allowance and the benefits of the education and participation package for housing allowance and child supplement recipients, as well as processing and paying applications for housing allowance (rent subsidy for tenants or burden subsidy for owner-occupied residential property).
The employees of the housing allowance office are also the contact persons when it comes to granting instalment payments/deferments in cases of overpayment.

Due to the high number of applications, the processing time is currently 6-8 weeks after receipt of all required documents. The team at the Housing Benefit Office is working flat out to process every application as quickly as possible.
Please understand that the Housing Benefit Office cannot make individual enquiries about the processing status if the submission of your documents falls within the current processing period.
You will automatically receive a notification as soon as your application has been processed.
You will not receive a separate confirmation of receipt.
Thank you for your understanding!
