Numerous funding opportunities have been made available by the European Investment Bank and the European Union, which complemented by Structural Funds and national and local support schemes, have potential to partially address the problem also by making multiple funding systems for investment in social and affordable housing more coherent to the different national contexts.
The Annual Social and Affordable Housing Finance Summit is one of the activities of this Working Group besides the identification of investment needs, peer-to-peer learning, local workshops and mentoring. The Summit is also fulfilling the goals of the Liege Declaration agreed in March 2024 which called for a European platform for exchange on housing systems.
Therefore, in Milan, Housing Europe and Legacoop Abitanti are bringing together housing and finance stakeholders to discuss hurdles faced by housing providers, municipalities and companies across the continent to access funding as they look to move the Renovation Wave and the New European Bauhaus forward.
“Our project coordinator, Dr. Paola Zerilli, will also be attending the event as a speaker. She will be participating in the session titled ‘Harnessing Finance (Public & Private) for Integrated Approaches to Fair Decarbonisation.’
