Resumen de 50 out of box housing solutions

Clotilde Clark Foulquier (coord.)

• The 50 solutions presented in this publication have been selected from over 100 daring, outside the box initiatives by a steering group of housing experts from around the world. They were identified through an open call answered by academics, architects, urban planners, civil servants, social workers, activists, social housing providers and others in Europe and beyond.

  These projects focus on providing decent and affordable housing to those affected by or at risk of homelessness and use many different means including innovative construction, activation of vacant land, new financial and legal mechanisms, innovative social housing and more. They represent local efforts to overcome financial and political barriers in the field of housing and ad hoc solutions to fill the gap left by existing housing systems. We have gathered them in the hope of inspiring more courage and creativity in housing policy.

  Our hope is for this initiative to mark the beginning of a long-term housing solutions community of practice determined to connect, identify, share and implement impactful ideas that make a difference to people’s lives by providing adequate affordable housing solutions for the locked-out.
