On the occasion of the International Tenants´ Day/World Habitat Day, October the 3rd, the International Union of Tenants will convene a conference in the Committee of the Regions on theme “Affordable Rental Housing for the Young”. The event will focus on the access of the young population in the housing market since one of the biggest problem in EU today. Young people are increasingly squeezed out of the housing market; affordable housing in both the private and social rented sector is in short supply and buying a home is out of reach of many.
