The city council group Freie Wähler and FÜR Karlsruhe is actively campaigning for the creation of temporary housing that can be made available specifically for skilled workers. The aim is to overcome the hurdle of the first home and enable a rapid influx of skilled workers to Karlsruhe, particularly in view of the tight housing market.

In the current situation, there is an increased demand for skilled workers in Karlsruhe, including nursery school teachers and care staff. To make it easier for these target groups to get started in Karlsruhe, Volkswohnungen will provide apartments specifically for them. This makes it possible to overcome the initial hurdle of moving house and speed up the move to Karlsruhe.

“A solid housing supply plays a decisive role in attracting skilled workers. People who feel well looked after and welcome in Karlsruhe are more inclined to stay in the city and make a long-term contribution to the community.
This measure actively counteracts the shortage of skilled workers in Karlsruhe, which in turn has a positive impact on the city’s economic development,” says parliamentary group leader Friedemann Kalmbach.

It is important for the group to emphasize that this has no impact on the city’s social housing, but is an independent initiative that claims a special contingent of apartments.
