The United Hamburger Housing Cooperative eG (vhw) is a cooperative corporate group based in Hamburg, specializing in the provision of housing and care services. With a comprehensive range of housing options, from family and single apartments to senior-friendly living, the vhw offers a variety of services.

The vhw is committed to socially responsible housing provision and high-quality care and support services. A central value is ensuring affordable rents for its members while promoting climate protection and energy efficiency[1][3].

The vhw has set ambitious climate goals and has invested about 80 million euros since 2015 in the energy modernization of its housing stock. The aim is to reduce CO2 emissions and become climate-neutral by 2045. Projects like the modernization of the residential complex in Erhard-Dressel-Bogen in Öjendorf demonstrate the success of these efforts[3].

The vhw is continuously working to modernize its buildings and achieve the efficiency house-70 standard to minimize environmental impact while improving the quality of life for its residents[3].
