Episode Details

Germanys housing crisis, particularly in the affordable and middle-price ranges, is exacerbated by a shortage of one point four million apartments nationwide. This issue is linked to population growth, more people living alone, and discrimination against immigrants, who are less likely to own homes and more likely to face overcrowded living conditions. The situation contributes to a rising homelessness crisis, with a majority of those in shelters not holding a German passport.

The lack of affordable housing creates barriers for job seekers and employers, necessitating a multi-faceted approach to solve this complex problem.
