Bureau de Rome

The Municipality of Florence and the European Investment Bank (EIB) are strengthening their cooperation to address the growing challenge of access to housing. With funding from the InvestEU Advisory Hub, EIB Advisory experts will provide technical assistance for the definition of the new municipal affordable housing plan, with the goal of increasing the supply of rental homes for families that are not eligible for public housing and are underserved by the private market. Florence, as a member of the European Alliance of Cities for Housing, together with Barcelona, Athens, Rome, Dublin and Warsaw among others, took part in the delegation invited to the EIB headquarters, where the city had the opportunity to initiate an exchange that now takes shape in a unique partnership.
