Housing Benefit – keeping housing costs affordable

The Housing Benefit Act includes a regular adjustment every two years. Your housing benefit was automatically adjusted on January 1, 2025.

Tenants, homeowners, and care home residents can apply for this benefit at the Potsdam City Administration's Housing Benefit Office—either traditionally on paper or completely online.

Simply check the Housing Benefit Calculator to see if you are eligible for this benefit.
