Across Europe, vacant buildings coexist with rising homelessness and housing exclusion. This collection of best practices, compiled by FEANTSA with the support of the Laudes Foundation, showcases innovative projects and policy solutions that transform unused spaces into homes. From temporary shelters to long-term housing models, these examples demonstrate how repurposing existing buildings can provide dignified, affordable housing while promoting social inclusion and sustainability. The initiative highlights what’s possible when local authorities, NGOs, and communities work together to address both housing needs and the climate crisis.
