Details

SHAPE II, the Affordable Housing Initiative European Partnership, is a SMP (Single Market Programme) Project starting in November 2024 and running for 2 years. 

The project is driving a transformation, creating and regenerating neighbourhoods that are inclusive, energy-efficient, and environmentally sustainable, while ensuring affordability remains at the core. The initiative is the point of reference for EU’s first Affordable Housing Plan, a just Renovation Wave and New European Bauhaus.

In its second phase, the initiative expands beyond retrofitting, focusing on resilience, liveability, and circular economy principles. Through a tailored Accelerator Programme, the partnership offers organisations across Europe guidance on technical and financial solutions, mentorship, and opportunities for peer-to-peer learning.

Study visits, workshops, seminars, and online classes empower participants with the skills, knowledge, and resources to combat energy poverty, promote social inclusion and cohesion, ensure long-term affordability of newly built or renovated homes, and reduce emissions from residential buildings.
