The Plan addresses one of Europe’s most urgent challenges: access to affordable, sustainable and good-quality housing. Rising house prices, rents, and the spread of short-term holiday lets are having a serious impact on local communities — including minoritised and endangered language communities.
In particular ELEN welcomes the focus in the plan on addressing the problems caused to the language communities that we represent by short-term holiday lets, issues that we highlighted in detail in the various consultations and meetings that gathered evidence for the Housing Plan.
We will continue working with the European Commission and other EU stakeholders to ensure that the needs of language communities are fully taken into account in future measures tackling the housing crisis, second homes and vacation rentals.
