In preparation for the 2024 European Parliament elections, the IUT Housing Policy Working Group (HPWG), mandated by the IUT Board, developed the Delft Declaration in 2023. This declaration outlines ten key principles affirming the fundamental right to affordable housing across Europe.
Building on this foundation, the HPWG has now produced a series of position papers that further explore and clarify the main housing policy challenges identified in the lead-up to the elections. These papers offer detailed analysis and recommendations, reinforcing the IUT’s commitment to advancing housing rights across Europe during the coming years. But, also to serve as an inspiration for other continents as the housing crisis is a truly global challenge.
Attached you will find these papers in the following formats:
- IUT Housing as a Human Right
- Why housing costs should not exceed 25 per cent
- Setting a 30 Quota for Social and Affordable Housing by 2030
- Financialization
- Regulating Short Term Rentals
- State Aid
- Promoting Tenure Neutrality Housing For All
- Respect Tenants Rights and Guarantee Transparency in Rental Agreements
- (9-10) Housing Cost Neutrality in Energy Efficiency and Equal Access to Energy
