It\u2019s not just about finding a suitable room. The focus is on living together harmoniously and respectfully, which offers added value for both sides.<br>Participation in the project is free of charge. However, registering does not automatically mean that we can find you a room. Whether and when a match is possible depends on the available housing options and on whether the expectations of both parties align.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is this project a good fit for you?  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This project might be just right for you if you \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>if you&#8217;re studying or doing an apprenticeship in Magdeburg,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>are looking for affordable housing,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>are open to living alongside people of different generations and life situations,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>are willing to get involved in daily life\u2014depending on your living arrangement\u2014<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and are interested in a long-term living arrangement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two options\u2014you decide which one is right for you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A housing partnership can take many different forms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Living in Exchange for Assistance<\/strong><br>You pay no rent\u2014or a significantly reduced amount\u2014and in return, you provide assistance with daily tasks. As a general guideline, you can agree to provide about one hour of assistance per square meter of living space per month. Utility costs are always covered.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Affordable Housing Without Assistance<\/strong><br>Not every housing partnership has to involve assistance. Landlords can also simply make a room available at an affordable rent. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You decide together exactly what to agree on. Possible forms of support could include, for example, help with shopping, household chores, or gardening; assistance with digital devices; or shared activities. Important: Nursing care, medical care, and intimate activities are expressly excluded.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here&#8217;s How the Placement Process Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sign up at<\/strong><br>.
