Why is there a new support program?
In Salzgitter's 31 districts, there are many neighborhoods with socially disadvantaged groups from different backgrounds. Social disadvantages arise due to poor housing quality, a neglected living environment and inadequate infrastructure. In addition, the lack of employment and/or low income situation of the citizens living there can have a negative impact.
For these disadvantaged areas/neighbourhoods in all districts of Salzgitter, there is a new funding program with the "Guideline for the promotion of measures with increased need for action", for which interested parties can apply with a project/measure (see below).
What kind of projects or measures are funded?
Funding is available for individual measures and projects that have one of the following objectives:
- Promote coexistence and civic engagement
- Promote identification with the neighborhood
- Enhance the cityscape
- Improve the quality of stay
- Revitalize the district/neighbourhood
- Strengthen the image of the neighborhood
- Promote integration
- Promote coexistence in the neighborhood/district
- Avoid social disadvantage
In addition, the projects should be meaningful and economical.
Funding can be approved in particular for
- Measures as tangible investments such as the purchase and installation of waste garbage cans, bicycle stands, play equipment or signage.
- Measures that are not material investments, but socially integrative measures, intercultural measures such as leisure activities, creative courses, district festivals, etc.
Who can submit an application?
All citizens and/or associations/institutions can submit an informal application (with a detailed description of the measures and a cost and financing plan).
This informal application must be submitted to the Department for Urban Redevelopment and Socially Integrative City (Joachim-Campe-Straße 6-8, 38226 Salzgitter, mail: stadtumbaustadt.salzgitterde.
