Response to European Affordable Housing Plan

4 Jun 2025

The Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE) welcomes the European Commissions initiative to develop an Affordable Housing Plan (AHP) and strongly supports its ambition to address the intertwined housing and energy/climate crises. We urge the Commission to anchor the AHP in a vision of quality housing: affordable not only in terms of initial cost, but also in terms of total cost of occupancy, including energy consumption costs, adaptation to climate risks, health, and long-term social value. The AHP must go beyond patching housing supply gaps in the short-term and instead drive structural change, where housing is no longer treated as a commodity but recognised as a foundation for wellbeing, social fairness and cohesion, economic resilience, and environmental sustainability. In this feedback, BPIE provides high-level principles to guide the AHP drafting process, with further operational recommendations and good practices to be provided through the public consultation. The principles are: 1. Providing affordable housing is creating long-term societal resilience, not additional cheap and low-quality housing in the short-term with negative environmental impact 2. Implementing our collectively agreed objectives: prioritising energy renovations 3. Better (re-) using existing spaces: the new default pathway 4. Building low carbon when having to build new 5. Moving the housing market structure towards more social resilience See attached PDF for more details.
