Highlights - Housing for students and young people in training - Special Committee on the Housing Crisis in the European Union
On Thursday 4 June 2026, during the HOUS Committee meeting, the Policy Department for Transport, Employment and Social Affairs will hold a workshop entitled "Housing for students and young people in training".Students and young people in training have been disproportionately affected by the housing crisis as they face rising housing costs and accommodation shortages. The Commission's recent European Affordable Housing Plan (EAHP), presented 16 December 2025, therefore recognises students and apprentices as a vulnerable group and proposes targeted solutions to address their housing situation.
Organised alongside a new study on the same topic, this workshop explores the state of student housing in the EU and aims to critically review and discuss the actions included in the EAHP to guarantee solutions for decent, sustainable, and affordable housing for students as per the EP's recent resolution on the housing crisis in the EU. Three experts will share their insights and perspectives to provide evidence-based insights and policy recommendations.

Highlights - Public hearing ensuring safe and sustainable construction materials in housing stock - Special Committee on the Housing Crisis in the European Union
Members of the European Parliament held a public hearing on the role of construction materials and the construction products framework in delivering affordable, safe and sustainable housing across Europe. The discussion examined the drivers behind rising housing costs and explored ways to increase the supply of affordable homes, with particular focus on material costs and the regulatory conditions affecting construction capacity.Experts from the construction industry, trade unions, housing organisations, local authorities and the European Commission discussed the impact of rising material costs, labour shortages, supply chain disruptions and EU rules governing the construction products market.
The hearing also explored how EU funding can be used, and how innovation and digital tools enabled by the revised Construction Products Regulation and the development of standards could help make construction faster, safer and more sustainable.
Why it matters for citizens: The debate considered ways to improve access to affordable housing, reduce delays in housing projects and support the delivery of safer and more sustainable homes through more efficient and reliable access to construction materials.
Why it matters for businesses: The discussion could shape future EU measures affecting economic operators across the construction value chain, including contractors and manufacturers, the majority of which are SMEs.
