Project description
New ideas for sustainable social housing
Social housing can be a life saviour for low-income households struggling to make ends meet. Increasing social inequalities, more diverse demographic patterns, and changing preferences for big city life challenge the existing housing system. For instance, there is a smaller demand for large-family homes since the proportion of families with children is falling. At the same time, the demand for smaller homes (for one or two persons) is on the rise. What’s more, there are growing regional differences in housing needs across EU Member States. The EU-funded DASH project intends to generate new ideas to promote more sustainable and safe social housing and propose housing products, processes and services.
Objective
Deliver sAfe and Social Housing - Housing is an important point of reference for citizens; the home is more than a physical framework for daily life: It is the social focal point of life through its contextual location and the relations it possesses. A proper and well-functioning home at an affordable price is of major importance for the individual. Good and healthy housing in attractive environments gives the residents and especially the children optimal opportunities to achieve a high standard of living and opportunities in life. Living in sub-standarHousing is an important point of reference for citizens; the home is more than a physical framework for daily life: It is the social focal point of life through its contextual location and the relations it possesses. A proper and well-functioning home at an affordable price is of major importance for the individual. Good and healthy housing in attractive environments gives the residents and especially the children optimal opportunities to achieve a high standard of living and opportunities in life. Living in sub-standard housing in difficult environments leads to inferior opportunities in life. Thus, housing policy has major impact on society and individuals.
European societies are dynamic entities influenced by social, economic, demographic, and cultural influences. Recent decades have seen increasing social inequalities, more diverse demographic patterns, and changing preferences for big city life. Overall, the existing housing system and housing type are challenged; the need for large family homes is reduced when the proportion of families with children is significantly reduced. On the other hand, the need for smaller homes for singles and couples without children is increasing. In addition, there are growing regional differences in housing needs across Member States; while especially large cities are experiencing tremendous pressure on the housing market, the housing market in peripheral rural areas has stalled.
