On 14 July 2025, from 16:30 to 18:00, the European Parliament Special Committee on the Housing Crisis in the EU is organising a public hearing on Addressing Vacancy and the Repurposing of Empty Housing in the EU. The exchange will focus on investigating how vacant housing stock across Europe can be repurposed for affordable housing, including legal, financial, and administrative measures to encourage use rather than speculation.
