New IUT Position Papers Expand on the Delft Declaration

In preparation for the 2024 European Parliament elections, the IUT Housing Policy Working Group (HPWG), mandated by the IUT Board, developed the Delft Declaration in 2023. This declaration outlines ten key principles affirming the fundamental right to affordable housing across Europe.

Building on this foundation, the HPWG has now produced a series of position papers that further explore and clarify the main housing policy challenges identified in the lead-up to the elections. These papers offer detailed analysis and recommendations, reinforcing the IUT’s commitment to advancing housing rights across Europe during the coming years. But, also to serve as an inspiration for other continents as the housing crisis is a truly global challenge.

Attached you will find these papers in the following formats:
1) Individual papers (position nr 1 to nr 9-10)
2) A consolidated PDF version including all positions
