The Trinitatis district pursues the goal of creating new living space, especially for people from the middle of society and marginalized groups. The connection between Altona and St. Pauli along Königstrasse is strengthened. These developments fall in line with the goals of urban funding for social cohesion and integration. The Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB) supports such projects to create living quarters where people can come together regardless of income, origin or religion.
In recent years, many people with a migration background have settled in urban areas. In 2021, a total of 2.3 million people with migration history lived in Germany, which corresponds to 27.3 percent of the population. This offers a valuable opportunity to promote the diversity of society in such projects and to ensure integrative access. The overall social approach is to create confidence and to enable a better life, which is also clearly noticeable in the philosophy of the Trinitatis district. Support from funding, sponsorship and donations are specifically sought to promote the courage to dare to make new things.
The newly created rooms in Trinitatis district also include a total of 26 "Housing First" apartments for formerly homeless people. This shows a strong commitment to social integration and the improvement of living conditions in the community.
