Company Facts

HouseEurope! wants to create incentives that make renovation the new norm. This will boost the renovation market and give new value to what is already there. The goal is to preserve homes and communities, ensure a fairer and more local building industry, save energy and resources, and preserve our memories and stories. This is why we launched the European Citizens' Initiative (ECI). An ECI is a tool for direct democracy that enables citizens across the EU to propose new or improved legislation. If one million EU citizens from at least seven countries support a cause, the European Commission must consider the proposal and form a working group. This process allows citizens to have a direct voice in shaping EU policy and addressing critical issues. Together, we aim for new EU laws that prioritize renovation and adaptation over demolition and reconstruction. To achieve our goal, we need your support, so sign up for the newsletter, support the initiative, and spread the word! Together we can house Europe!
