HOWOGE is also socially committed – why?
As a municipal landlord, we are responsible not only for good and affordable housing in Berlin, but also for livable, socially responsible, and sustainable residential areas. To this end, we want to promote and strengthen neighborhoods.
How exactly does this work?
On the one hand, by supporting existing actors and projects in the neighborhoods and building collaborations. On the other hand, through our own self-initiated projects, such as mobile tenant afternoons, neighborhood activities, our KIEZORTE (Kids' Places), festivals, competitions like "My Clean Route to School" or neighborhood clean-up campaigns. In this way, we also create diverse opportunities to get involved in your own neighborhood.
To what extent do the tenants themselves play a role in this?
Tenants are the experts on local living and housing. They know best what the neighborhood needs. HOWOGE supports them in implementing projects such as watering sponsorships, flea markets, and cleanups. Neighborhood initiatives strengthen community and social cohesion.
