On 2 July, local and regional leaders met with the European Investment Bank (EIB) during a European Committee of the Regions plenary to discuss EU housing policy. They highlighted the EIB’s €5 billion housing finance in 2025 and announced a commitment to raise this to €6 billion in 2026. The session saw the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the CoR and the EIB to strengthen cooperation on housing, urban development, and the Pan‑European Investment Platform, which aims to combine public and private capital for new homes. Leaders stressed that about €153 billion per year is needed to build two million homes across the EU and called for housing to remain a priority in the next multi‑annual budget. They urged continued support from the Cohesion Policy to address regional disparities.
