What is the primary impact of the decrease in social housing units in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern on low-income residents?

The number of social housing units in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has decreased significantly, from almost 7,000 in 2014 to around 2,600 at the end of 2023. This decline is largely due to expiring government subsidies, leading to higher rents in many formerly subsidized units. The state government points to a balanced housing market in many areas, however, this does not account for the difficulties faced by low-income residents.
