Parliament debates a report with recommendations to tackle the housing crisis in the EU. The proposed solutions include boosting investment through EU, national and private funds, reducing red tape in the housing sector, and tackling labour shortages and competitiveness challenges in the construction sector.
In its final report adopted in February, Parliament’s Special Committee on the Housing Crisis emphasises that millions of Europeans face precarious living conditions due to the housing crisis and calls for EU legislation to address the viability and cost of building new housing.
Established in December 2024, the Housing committee has been tasked with mapping housing needs, analysing existing policies across the EU and contributing to the future implementation of the EU’s affordable housing plan.
