This time the theme of our conference will be Tenant Engagement and Cooperative Housing.
We will focus on the primary clients of the housing sector, the tenants. How to engage them in the process of policy development, neighborhood improvement and the creation of new services.
The second highlight will be cooperative housing. Across Europe we find many good and interesting examples of cooperative housing. This organisational form offers optimal opportunities to co-develop and co-manage affordable housing with a maximum influence of the residents.
