Towards a new National Housing Programme in Slovenia

The ESPN Flash Reports are produced by the European Social Policy Network (ESPN) established in 2014 to provide the European Commission with independent information, analysis and expertise on social policies. The topics presented in the Flash Reports are identified by ESPN experts in the light of significant developments in their countries, or in some cases suggested by the Commission.

The ESPN is managed by LISER and APPLICA, with the support of OSE - European Social Observatory. For more information, please visit this website.
Renting at market prices is expensive in Slovenia and social housing is in short supply. The Draft “National Housing Programme 2015-2025” projects a new rental policy and an increase in the housing stock aimed at the most vulnerable population groups. The expected positive consequences of the new regulation include: easier access to their first home for young people and young families, construction of young people’s housing communities, higher availability of adequate housing for the elderly and additional housing units for the most socially excluded.
