What if the solution to the housing crisis isn’t building more homes, but using the ones we already have?
In Thessaloniki, Greece, an initiative is turning vacant housing into affordable homes for people who need them most.
Through a Social Rental Agency, unused apartments are renovated, improved for energy efficiency, and offered to low-income households. It’s creating not just housing, but a system that makes social housing possible in a place where it did not exist before.
The full initiative is available on Social Innovation Match here.
