Together with the Association of Saxon Housing Cooperatives (VSWG) e.V., which is also the lead partner, and funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK), LBST supports cooperative activities in the Lusatia lignite mining region in coping with structural change by providing technological and systemic expertise. 

This includes supporting the transformative activities of housing cooperatives in relevant areas of activity, in particular in electricity and heat supply and building refurbishment with a view to a gradual focus on resource conservation and climate neutrality. It also includes support in the preparation of model projects and exemplary solutions with a knock-on effect on other housing cooperatives.

In addition, the aim is to support and network various players organised as cooperatives in the field of resource conservation and climate neutrality.
