Starting July 2026, the 'Gewerbe zu Wohnen' (GzW) program via KfW offers up to €30,000 per housing unit, covering 30% of eligible costs, with a total budget of €300 million. The subsidy can be combined with other programs. At the 'New Housing' festival in Karlsruhe in late June 2026, over 90 exhibitors showcased models priced between €70,000 and €120,000, but land remains the largest cost factor: total costs for permanent Tiny House living range from €150,000 to €300,000, including 15–20% for ancillary construction costs.
