Eteron Institute (english)

👉 @FEPS_Europe, in collaboration with Eteron, Kalevi sorsa Foundation, and the @ProgresInstitut, presented today their housing policy brief at the Tackling the housing crisis in Europe expert meeting at the European Parliament. Press release & handbook👉 eteron.org/en/tackling-th…

The policy brief “Tackling the housing crisis in Europe” argues that the European #Housing crisis must be addressed on three critical fronts, illustrated by three country case studies: Finland, Greece, and the Republic of North Macedonia. 🇫🇮 🇬🇷 🇲🇰 bit.ly/HousingCrisisE… 👉 Chronic lack of public and affordable housing. Investment in social housing has plummeted, while demand continues to rise. The EU lacks unified definitions of "social" and "affordable" housing. Expanding public and socially controlled housing is the only structural, long-term solution. 👉 Reduce energy poverty as part of the #GreenTransition. Millions cannot afford adequate heating or cooling, undermining health and well-being. Policies must prioritise worst-performing homes and community-led interventions at the neighbourhood scale and protect vulnerable households from "renoviction". 👉 Regulate short-term rentals and #Touristification. The practice drives rent inflation, reduces long-term supply, displaces residents and accelerates housing as a speculative commodity. Cities and non-governmental organisations demand local powers, strict regulation and data transparency from multinational digital platforms. The success of the EU in combating the housing crisis will be rooted in moving beyond the mere fuelling of market-led initiatives towards the creation of socially just and equitable housing systems across Europe. 🤝By FEPS, in collaboration with @EteronorgEn, @SorsaFoundation, and the @ProgresInstitut.
