Time to think and do differently – #Housing2030 report by Housing Europe, UNECE and UN-Habitat

#housing2030 - Effective policies for affordable housing in the UNECE region. At least 100 million low and middle-income people in the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) region are housing cost overburdened; they spend more than 40 per cent of their disposable income on housing. Housing affordability is an important element of the right to adequate housing but is often a challenge for groups of the population facing vulnerabilities.

EXPLAINED – Energiesprong.Org

The aim is that the money that you’d normally spend on your energy bills, combined with reduced repairs and maintenance costs, pays for the renovation. You get a make-over for your house without any additional costs. This means rents will not change, only differently accrued. In other words: the monthly energy bill and maintenance costs get invested in the retrofit. Same rent, better home.
