Housing is a cornerstone of societal well-being, economic stability, and sustainable development. Accessible, affordable, and high-quality housing is vital for fostering inclusive communities and ensuring a high quality of life for all EU citizens. However, the European housing sector faces significant challenges, including cost-of-life crises, supply shortages, and the need to modernize the existing building stock to meet environmental and energy efficiency goals.
EBC recognizes the critical role construction SMEs play in addressing these issues by delivering housing solutions that are both innovative and sustainable. Through coordinated and targeted policies, EBC advocates for increasing housing supply, promoting energy-efficient renovations, and ensuring fair access to funding for small businesses and property owners.
By fostering collaboration among policymakers, businesses, and stakeholders, EBC works to create a housing ecosystem that balances economic growth, environmental responsibility, and social inclusion.
