Growing the Energy Supporters & Mentors movement that alleviates energy poverty

One-day online training for experts who want to help energy poor households on the ground

While it is good that everyone is currently trying their best to find alternatives for the classic sources of energy, it is unfortunate that so many will become even more vulnerable. The lack of stability and predictability determine numerous consequences, among which are the soaring energy prices. Despite all this, we should not lose hope, and instead, play our part, no matter how small, and show true European solidarity.

Sustainable and safe housing for people fleeing the war in Ukraine – What can the Safe Homes Initiative offer?

| 20 September | 10-12 am CET

In light of the European Commission´s launch of the Safe Homes Guidance, the Housing Solutions Platform, a joint initiative by Fondation Abbé Pierre, FEANTSA and Housing Europe, will organise an online debate with the aim of getting a better understanding of the initiative and how it actually responds to the housing needs of the refugees feeling Ukraine. Experts from both European and grassroot levels together with representatives of the European Commission and the European Parliament will reflect on opportunities and risks linked to the provision of private accommodation and will discuss what further EU-level support is possible and needed for long term housing solutions, beyond private accommodation.

Achieving Energy Independence: the contribution of social, cooperative and public housing to the EU joint action plan RepowerEU

17 May 2022 | 10:00-12:15 CET

On May, 18th, the European Commission will present the details of the RepowerEU action plan to make Europe independent from Russian fossil fuels well before 2030, starting with gas, in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This plan will also outline a series of measures to respond to rising energy prices in Europe and replenish gas stocks for next winter. Questions now arise about the impact of the solutions proposed in the RepowerEU action plan on the social, cooperative, and public housing sector that interlinks with the already existing initiatives under the European Green Deal and the potential contribution of housing providers to the success of the Action Plan.

Growing the Energy Supporters & Mentors movement that alleviates energy poverty

Second chance to go through an online training and obtain a certificate

The energy crisis in Europe keeps on deepening. According to Eurostat, energy prices in the EU have risen by 17% since September 2021. In Belgium, Greece, Italy, and the Netherlands, increases have been over 30% and the conflict in Ukraine is adding further price pressures, after already large increases in recent months. These worrying circumstances are making the EU-funded POWERPOOR plan for action more and more relevant.
