EHC Project

Good practice of Pilot Project developed in Vitoria-Gasteiz

In 2020 the European Commission recognised Empty Houses for the Homeless, a project from Arteale Foundation, as Good Practice.

Take a look:

Since the application was submitted to the European Commission in COVID Lockdown, in 2020 the project so far (2023) has evolved a lot.

Learned Lessons:

No traditional rentals: Systemic Legal risk e.g., appeal non refugees.

Tripled the volume: from 11 million Empty Homes to 32 in EU.

Digital platform toolkit orchestra to address that volume.

Huge environmental impact. The sustainability of the project will come from environmental impact rather than from Housing Right.

Empty homes located in city centres. All over the world.

Taxes: important factor with positive and negative incentives
