Affordable Housing in Central and Eastern Europe

The European Housing Partnership (EHP) is committed to investment in affordable housing in Europe through identifying constraints and bottlenecks in terms of access to housing and long-term affordability, as well as through examining and promoting good practices and innovative solutions in the sector. Metropolitan Research Institute (MRI) was invited by EHP to carry out research for the Housing Policy working group about the Central and East European experience of these issues, namely in the eleven new Central and East European EU member states (Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia). The research to support EHP in developing its Action Plan must pay special attention to the new EU member states (NMS) because of the historical particularities of Central and East European (CEE) post-socialist countries. The current study draws from MRI’s existing research and used the input of four in-country experts: Anneli Kährik (Estonia), Martin Lux (Czech Republic), Veronika Reháková (Slovakia) and Richard Sendi (Slovenia).
