The core of HOME² is the digital and regulatory advancement of student housing across Europe. Building on the success of the original HOME initiative, the project focuses on integrating high-quality, verified accommodation into the Erasmus+ App, creating a seamless and trustworthy housing solution that connects mobile students directly with reliable housing providers.
The value for property owners
HOME2 offers a digital platform to connect with tenants, while the development of new guidelines helps landlords navigate the specific regulatory and management challenges of student rentals. The project explores quality and safety labels that can help landlords increase the visibility and credibility of their properties among the international student community.
UIPI’s contribution
UIPI ensures that the voices of small-scale private landlords are heard throughout the project’s development, identifying real-world obstacles faced by property owners in the student rental sector. By translating these findings into practical guidelines and policy recommendations, UIPI works to improve the accommodation landscape, ensuring that housing solutions are not only beneficial for students but also viable and fair for the owners who provide them.
