e-module Chapter 7: Solutions and Responses

Figure 1 of this chapter gives a rough overview on tenure system groups in the EU. Starting from here and making use of the source document try to answer the following questions for your country:

·         Which kind of tenure (rental or owner-occupied) is predominant in your region?

·         Which level of government (local/ municipal, regional or national) is (predominantly) in charge of provision of affordable housing in your country? Which kind of policy interventions are applied?

·         What is the status of “social housing” in your country: does it follow a “universalistic” or a more “targeted” approach?

·         Which of the solutions described for policy interventions in this chapter are already in place in your country? How effective do you think they are? And which of the proposed solutions could still be introduced?

·         Are you aware of civil society interventions in the area of housing in your country? If so: which ones? How effective are they?
