MEPs and representatives from the Commission and other EU institutions will hear from national and regional authorities and stakeholders about what is being done in EU countries to improve access to affordable housing. The conference will launch the public debate on affordable housing and its findings will help inform a Parliament report on the topic, expected to be presented later this year.
