European Commission visit to exemplary CLT builds momentum for future EU-level support
On Monday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Mario Nava Director-General of DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion (EMPL) for the European Commission, during a visit organised by the European Community Land Trust Network.
We also welcomed Dyfed Aubrey of UN-HABITAT to Brussels during the visit!
Following the visit, Mario Nava, Director General of DG EMPL stated that:
“Ensuring access to social and affordable housing for vulnerable people is a priority. Community-based innovative initiatives, like the Brussels Community Land Trust Calico project, are an example of how to achieve this while strengthening local communities. I am happy that EU funding contributed to set-up the project, paving the way for more of these successful initiatives in the future.”
