Financing of district-level renovation programmes of private affordable housing led by public institutions

Most of the affordable housing is privately owned. Many of these houses, affordable or not, need significant renovations, notably to improve their energy performance. Public entities have often taken the lead to develop large renovation programmes, normally focusing on energy renovations.

In this webinar run by GNE Finance on May 25th (14:00-16:00 CET), we will review several approaches to finance these programmes. A key issue that these programmes face is by convincing dwelling owners to renovate their houses, in particular, energy renovations have generally a low priority for them. Financing can contribute significantly to this objective, notably for lower-income households.

Moderated by Eduard Puig Maclean – GNE Finance.
