How can impact investing jump-start an affordable housing boom in Europe? Bax's Director Rolf Bastiaanssen has been invited to to answer this question alongside an expert panel hosted by Erste Social Finance at Impact Europe's Impact Week next month. Affordable & social housing remain existential challenges to Europe. 1 in 10 city-based Europeans live in a household spending more than 40% of income on housing costs. Around 900,000 people are experiencing homelessness. More affordable housing is needed, and quickly. The panel will explore how local and European impact investment funds can best deploy impact capital to accelerate the building of high-quality affordable housing.
