Welcome to the CECODHAS Housing Europe’s Online Campaign Toolkits. In this section, you will find materials and resources to follow our campaign for the affordable housing sector in Europe.
The Offer to fight Climate Change from Europe’s Cooperative and Social Housing providers
In partnership with energy producers, citizens, professionals & local authorities and with appropriate funding & legislation social and cooperative housing can accelerate refurbishment rates to achieve optimal energy performance in 8 million homes between 2010 & 2020. Social and cooperative housing makes up 12% of the EU’s housing stock, if 4% of stock is refurbished annually, backed up with a sustained change in residents’ behaviour, this can help deliver 30% reduction in energy consumption by 2020. The Copenhagen Offer explains more in details what is the potential and the missing strategies to reach a refurbishment rate of a million dwellings annually, representing the creation of almost 350.000 jobs across Europe each year.

It is therefore about making the case for a consolidation of this “affordable housing-friendly” approach as well as about putting more emphasis on housing as a necessary tool to face societal challenges in the EU: ageing, climate change, increasing segregation, difficulties to house the youth…

This final project report includes a diagnosis on the situation of social housing in Europe; three reports on the working groups’ three lines of action established within the framework of the project (social, economic and environmental); and finally, an executive summary of each of the nine partners’ local action plans (LAP). This report intends to offer a brief summary of the comprehensive work carried out by the partner cities’ LAPs and of the added value of SUITE for local governments.
