Based on the success of the previews HOME project, ran from 2019 to 2020, HOME² is a 30-month initiative dedicated to revolutionising student housing experiences across Europe. HOME² will deliver impactful outcomes, including updated student housing quality labels, policy recommendations, and an improved user-friendly housing solution to allow mobile students to find quality accommodation via the Erasmus+ App.
As part of the project, UIPI plays a role by conducting in-depth analysis of challenges faced by professional student housing providers and smaller-scale landlords in the private rented sector. UIPI’s activities include desk research, surveys targeting focus groups, and the development of guidelines to address these challenges and improve the student accommodation landscape across Europe.
