Towards an European framework for social housing assessment

Housing is one of the causes of the growing social gap in Europe, but it repre- sents an opportunity for innovation. National differences are a limitation for joint reflections between states. Therefore, starting from a desk analysis of European reports, the article proposes an innovative framework of eight indicators useful to define and compare social housing systems. The framework represents a possible tool to systematise knowledge on housing to facilitate inclusive actions and support shared choices.

L’abitare è una delle cause del crescente divario sociale in Europa, ma rappresenta un’opportunità di innovazione. Le differenze nazionali sono un limite per le ri- flessioni congiunte tra gli stati. Pertanto, partendo da un’analisi dei report europei, l’articolo propone un framework innovativo di otto indicatori utili a definire e confrontare i sistemi di social housing ponendosi come possibile strumento per si- stematizzare le conoscenze, facilitare azioni inclusive e sostenere scelte condivise.
