Housing is at the crossroads of Europe’s biggest challenges — climate, affordability, and community.

When Housing Europe hears financing homes, we ask who decides, who benefits & who gets left behind.

We created a space for this.

On 18–19 Nov 2025 in Prague, the European Responsible Housing Finance Summit will rethink how investment can serve people.

Lisbon’s public housing company (and our member) Gebalis turned 30! Managing 27,000 homes across the city, it has quietly transformed lives. In a city gripped by a housing crisis, Gebalis offers stability & hope but the call for more investment, staff & new homes is growing louder.

In 2 days, members discussed State Aid, the new EU budget, the Affordable Housing Plan, off-site renovation, wood construction, age-friendly homes & more.

This reveals the strain of a sector delivering solutions amid fragmented rules & inconsistent funding. It could be different.

Our "State of Housing in Europe 2025" shows the crisis in numbers: France needs 518k homes/year (198k social), Germany 400k, Netherlands ~1M by 2031. Production falls short. Waiting lists swell.

The data shows urgency but why do politics show hesitation?

At the UNECE ministers’ meeting in Geneva, Housing Europe President Marco Corradi said it clearly:

We’re at a crossroads. Either we invest in public, cooperative, and social housing OR we keep pretending the market will fix it all. The choice is about courage and long-term vision.
