We are consortium members of the Horizon Europe project EqualHouse between 2024 and 2027, led by the University College Dublin. 

 

EqualHouse integrates all dimensions of housing inequality into one transdisciplinary and transnational research design. We analyze the many aspects of housing inequality, hitherto largely studied separately. EqualHouse starts by considering policymakers’ and implementers’ concerns and involves them as partners in co-creating both the research and solutions to housing inequality.

 

Periféria Center’s participation focuses on two themes:

​

• Intersecting housing and labor market inequalities. Our work provides local, national, regional and European policymakers with state-of-the-art information on how housing and labor market inequalities intersect and how they can be tackled, drawing on lessons from case studies and policy recommendations. 

​​

• Socially innovative solutions to housing inequalities. We identify and conduct in-depth studies of alternative, socially innovative housing models which are unique in facilitating access to sustainable, inclusive and affordable housing especially for lower-income groups. Findings are shared with stakeholders in a transdisciplinary community exchange workshop and in a comparative study.
