In response to the public consultation on the European Affordable Housing Plan (EAHP), the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) underlines that the EAHP offers a crucial opportunity to transform the housing sector to deliver on many critical social and environmental needs. To do so, rather than focusing simply on building new, the EAHP must propose solutions that change the way we use the existing building stock. This encompasses addressing vacancies and under-occupation but also prioritising the use of buildings for social good, rather than financial profit. In doing so, the EAHP can be essential in increasing the wellbeing and resilience of Europeans.
