Project Description
Europe is currently experiencing a housing affordability crisis driven by rising property prices, supply shortages, and a lack of coherent national housing policies. In Greece, the need for social housing has become increasingly urgent due to prolonged economic challenges, rising housing costs, and a growing population of vulnerable groups.
In 2023, Greek households spent more than 35% of their disposable income on housing – substantially higher than the European Union (EU) average of 19.7%. Moreover, Greece ranks among the lowest in the EU in terms of investment in housing, allocating less than 3% of its GDP to the sector as of 2023 .
These conditions have disproportionately affected low- and middle-income households, with an increasing number of people unable to secure adequate and affordable accommodation. Social housing demand is expanding to include not only the traditionally low-income but also groups like single parents, precarious workers, and lower-middle-income households.
In response, the Greek government has introduced a range of measures aimed at expanding affordable housing options, regulating the short-term rental market, and supporting vulnerable groups. Despite these efforts, the limited social housing stock remains a major challenge. The Government examines solutions to utilise public property to turn into affordable living housing for vulnerable groups.
Given a national strategy for social housing in Greece is under finalisation with the support of the Recovery and Resilience Fund, the Government of Greece aims to investigate and standardise a PPP model going forward.
The objective of this assignment is to develop a comprehensive implementation plan for social housing in Greece via the use of the PPP model and standardise a financial analysis, and the Partnership Agreement and Annexes in this sector in Greece.
The development of a robust social housing implementation plan aims at promoting social inclusion and improving the quality of life for many individuals and families. A well-implemented social housing program can also stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and foster community development, while achieving urban regeneration via the redevelopment of underutilised/vacant sites.
In the context of the Assignment the Consultant shall perform, inter alia, the following tasks:
• Assessment of the current social housing situation and needs in Greece.
• Development of a tailored PPP model for social housing.
• Identification of and engagement with key stakeholders through a structured engagement plan.
• Development of a detailed roadmap for the implementation of the national social housing strategy.
• Commercial analysis and initial cost estimate of the chosen PPP model.
• Financial analysis including the development of a feasibility-level fi
