Europe’s middle- and lower-income groups are facing a major housing crisis. According to the European Union’s statistics agency, Eurostat, 3 million people in the region were homeless in 2010, while 17 percent were ill-housed, meaning they lived in poor conditions or were threatened with losing their homes. The situation has improved little in the past five years. The 2015 Housing Review from Habitat for Humanity aims to shape the debate around Europe’s multitude of housing policies. It concludes by advocating for community-driven social housing programs that have the potential to provide opportunities to create new homes for low-income groups. Concrete examples are provided from different European countries of community-driven housing and land use to show the positive impact these programs have had on low-income communities. These bottom-up initiatives open up new perspectives on potential partnerships and community-driven opportunities to respond to the major trends in society and neighborhoods.
