Book excerpt: Unaffordable housing is a matter of great concern in the EU. It leads to homelessness, housing insecurity, financial strain and inadequate housing. It also prevents young people from leaving their parental home. These problems affect people's health and well-being, embody unequal living conditions and opportunities, and result in increased healthcare costs, reduced productivity and environmental damage. This report maps housing problems faced by people in the EU and policies to address them. It draws on evidence from Eurofound's Living, working and COVID-19 e-survey, European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions and input from the Network of Eurofound Correspondents.
