Abstract
Students and young people in training across the EU are seriously affected by the housing crisis, facing high housing costs, shortages, and insecurity to varying degrees across Member States. This negatively affects students’ wellbeing, educational outcomes, and even regional competitiveness. Building on the Commission’s European Affordable Housing Plan (EAHP), this study proposes six policy actions focused on increasing dedicated student housing, integrating student housing into broader policy strategies, and investing in innovation, research, and knowledge exchange. This document was prepared at the request of the Special Committee on the Housing Crisis in the European Union (HOUS).
