Description: Housing inequality looms as a pervasive challenge across Europe, with diverse dimensions such as unaffordability, homelessness, and labour market-related disparities impacting millions. Recognising the urgency of a comprehensive approach, the EU-funded EqualHouse project emerges as a groundbreaking initiative. By integrating various facets of housing inequality into a transdisciplinary and transnational research design, EqualHouse aims not only to unravel the complexities of the issue, but also to offer innovative, inclusive, and sustainable solutions for policymakers and communities alike. Specifically, the project aims to offer policymakers robust guidance for sustainable, inclusive, and affordable solutions. Notably, the project pioneers collaboration by involving policymakers from the outset, ensuring holistic solutions.
