The housing market reports of the Department of Housing, Social Affairs and Integration analyze current trends, long-term developments and complex interactions on the Aachen housing market on a broad data basis.
The City of Aachen supports alternative forms of housing that focus on communal building and living, for example building and living groups or communal housing projects.
Integration is a task that takes place every day of the year. The central concern of the City of Aachen and in particular the Department of Housing, Social Affairs and Integration is therefore to live diversity and make it visible.
Integration affects all areas - school as well as the world of work, leisure and life in the district. The Integration Council aims to promote tolerance and respect at all levels of political life.
The Municipal Integration Center of the City of Aachen sees integration policy as a cross-sectional task. The team develops and consolidates the existing support structures, networks integration-relevant players and coordinates them.
The tasks of integration officers include the implementation of the integration concept, the central coordination of integration-promoting measures and cooperation and the networking of different institutions and people with and without a history of immigration.
Together with the municipal integration council, the city of Aachen awards a diversity prize every year. The prize is intended to contribute to the sustainable anchoring and awareness-raising of the topic of migration, immigration and diversity within the city of Aachen.
