  4. You can use free text when searching for interesting calls. All you need to do is to enter a phrase in the text bar that EuroAccess is to look for in its database.

    When looking for a phrase in the free text bar, the system will perform an exact-match search. This means that it will search the database for the exact words, in their exact order. However, you can opt for two different approaches:

    1. You can use “AND”, in this way: One AND Two. EuroAccess will look in the database for the fields which records contain both One and Two, regardless of their order and their position in any sentence.

    2. You can use the “OR”, in this way: One OR Two. In this case, EuroAccess will search the database for fields that contain either the word One or the word Two. It will retrieve all the fields with one of these words or with both.

    However, you should prefer phrases or complex words over simple words in you text searches.

Call content

short description

This call for proposals aims at fostering regeneration of neighbourhoods across Europe, addressing energy poverty, promoting social inclusion and ensuring that newly built and renovated housing units of the supported districts remain affordable, innovative and inclusive.

Call objectives

In that view, this call for proposals aims to set up the Affordable Housing Initiative European Partnership (‘the AHI partnership’) to support organisations active in the renovation and construction of social and affordable housing projects and local industrial partnerships (LIPs) across Europe. On the one hand, the AHI partnership will act as a pool of expertise at EU level, providing expertise, good practices and knowledge transfer opportunities to any interested organisation active in the conceptualisation, planning, financing or implementation of a construction or renovation project of social and affordable housing. On the other hand, the AHI partnership will provide tailored support and customised capacity building activities to members of (minimum) 35 selected LIPs, using an integrated approach and working towards the implementation of a lighthouse district, hence contributing to the overall ambition of the Affordable Housing Initiative of supporting 100 lighthouse districts in their development, as set up in the Renovation Wave. The AHI partnership will aim to boost replication potential of identified and developed successful practices against a one size-fits-all approach, taking the features of the project in consideration.

Cooperation between a variety of organisations is required to strive for social and economic regeneration of neighbourhoods in the context of renovation and construction projects of social and affordable housing at district level. Therefore, the AHI partnership will aim to engage multi-stakeholder and public-private partnerships. It will support SMEs active in affordable and social housing (e.g. public, non or limited-profit housing associations and cooperatives, social rental agencies and companies, associations of tenants and residents, social private landlords) and in construction (including energy efficiency renovation, deconstruction, construction waste management) to collaborate with other SMEs (e.g. architects, energy audit providers, energy service companies, urban designers and planners, social services and healthcare providers), local public authorities and bodies (e.g. in delivering construction permits, acting as procuring entities for renovation projects) and other relevant organisations such as impact investors and business support organizations (e.g. incubators, accelerators, chambers of commerce), technology centers, science parks, research institutes, innovation hubs (e.g. clusters of social and ecological innovation), third places (e.g. fab labs, living labs, community centers), vocational training providers, work-integration social enterprises and cooperatives.

The AHI partnership will also aim to upskill and reskill workforce of relevant parties that are engaged in such projects. For example, to integrate digital, environmental and social innovative solutions for lighthouse projects, and identify required developments (e.g. regulatory, financing, planning, management, technical, social) for social and affordable housing.

The AHI partnership will facilitate knowledge transfer and learning exchanges of best practices to be replicated towards other districts in Europe providing insights on the factors enabling a best practice to be successfully replicated in another project.

The AHI partnership will disseminate successful practices, help identify opportunities and overcome challenges to renovation and construction of social and affordable housing districts. It shall provide recommendations for sustainable financing, better regulation and access to technologies to roll-out such projects.

The AHI partnership is expected to map and liaise with other EU initiatives and projects. In that regard, it should create synergies with initiatives under the New European Bauhaus, and exploit the full potential of publicly available technical modules and capacity building materials developed by the ‘European Affordable Housing Consortium’ (e.g. blueprints, mentoring programme, handbooks, recording of trainings) in the launching phase of the Affordable Housing Initiative.

Support activities of the AHI partnership are divided in two categories: On the one hand activities linked to tailored support provided to the (minimum) 35 selected LIPs working towards the implementation of a lighthouse district. On the other hand, activities linked to general support available to any interested organisation engaging in social and affordable housing renovation and construction projects aiming towards neighbourhood regeneration.

Expected effects and impacts

The overall expected impact of the action is to contribute to the alleviation of housing unaffordability, residential building-related greenhouse gas emissions, energy poverty and social exclusion in Europe. It seeks to promote the use of an integrated approach in renovation and construction projects of social and affordable housing districts targeting neighbourhood regeneration. It aims at supporting members of LIPs and any interested organisation active in the conceptualisation, planning, financing or implementation of a construction or renovation project of social and affordable housing at district level. This, by directly supporting on the ground the needs of 35 selected projects on the one hand, and by promoting the integrated approach while enhancing expertise and knowledge sharing towards relevant organisation involved at the EU, national, regional and local levels.
