In the last 10 years Tuscany Region has implemented innovative housing policies aimed at realizing a mixed social housing model to respond to current housing challenges: market failures in social housing provision, low quality of dwellings, and new emerging demands. These policy schemes included the subscription of shares of the FHT. The Regional Law no. 78 of August 5, 2020 authorized the subscription of further shares for 2 million euros, with the aim of promoting innovation for a ‘new post pandemic housing model’ with the Region engaged in the relevant strategic choices to guarantee coordination of new initiatives with its instruments and enhance the social effects of residents’ participation. With Regional Law no. 38 of Nov. 2021, the Region has further invested 1 M Euro to support integrated community services in the management of social housing, mainly promoting the Social Manager, an entity responsible for property, facility, and community management. The main objectives include creating collaborative housing models that encourage the sharing and joint management of spaces and services, in particular strengthening the capacity for self-management of common spaces and services by residents, the support for housing models aimed at sharing spaces and services for daily activities, the co-design of activities to be carried out in common spaces by residents, the activation of community pathways that foster intergenerational interaction and support to vulnerable people.

The Brussels Region was the first one in Europe to implement the Community Land Trust (CLT) model as part of its affordable housing policy. After being integrated as a potential housing instrument in the Regional Law in 2012, and supported as an experimental project for almost a decade, since 2021 the “Arrêté du Gouvernement de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale organisant les Alliances foncières régionales, leur agrément et leur financement” defines how CLTs are recognized and financed by the Brussels Capital Region. In 2023, the policy instrument was completed with an official management contract between the Region and CLTB, defining mutual engagements and common targets. The main goal is to provide affordable housing for low income groups, as well as to increase social cohesion in underprivileged neighborhoods, using the innovative CLT model. Community Land Trusts develop community led housing on community owned land. By seperating the ownership of land and building, using long term lease contracts, homes are made affordable. The long term affordability is guarantied through integrating non-speculative resale conditions in the lease contract. The Regional Law provides to the Community Land Trust Brussles, as non-profit, democratic and community-led organisations, the role to develop and manage homes that are affordable to low and middle-income households, as well as other assets that contribute to thriving local communities.

The Guidelines for Housing Policy Development in Riga set medium-term directions aligned with the city's Sustainable Development Strategy until 2030 and the Riga Development Programme 2022-2027, aiming to ensure the accessibility of quality housing for diverse social groups. The guidelines take a strategic approach to improving housing quality, diversity, and affordability, with the overarching goals of stabilizing Riga's population and fostering its economic growth. Key expected outcomes include enhanced access to housing for various groups, improved municipal support efficiency, and better energy efficiency and quality of residential buildings.
Riga's housing strategy addresses the specific needs of different population groups. The guidelines emphasize targeted support instruments tailored to diverse household situations, improvements in the urban living environment, and the creation of new housing. The policy includes actions such as new housing construction, municipal assistance, renovation of apartment buildings, improving housing management and homeowner organizations, and strengthening institutional capacity.
Riga’s housing policy shifts from a traditional focus on low-income groups to a broader approach that also addresses housing affordability for groups like young people. As Latvia's largest urban center, Riga is committed to being proactive and innovative in developing and implementing housing solutions.

In June 2023 a core document “Short and Medium-Term Housing Management Concept” was approved by the Veszprém City Council. The document has two main chapters: a situation assessment section and a section containing a set of objectives and proposals. The situation assessment section identifies demographic and housing market trends in and around the city at the functional urban area level. It includes a detailed analysis of the main factors affecting housing demand and supply, an overview of the local housing subsidy system, an overview of the current framework for municipal housing management and a summary of the main housing-related problems. Despite the innovative organizational background provided by the Veszprém Community Housing Agency (VESZOL), which offers a comprehensive approach that includes life management, financial counseling, vocational training, and job search assistance through social workers, the agency has access to only a limited number of housing units. The city's strategic objectives focus on developing a housing policy and municipal housing stock that offer affordable, modern housing to a broader population, aligning with the city's social, economic, and sustainability goals. To achieve this vision, four key objectives have been established:
- an inclusive municipal housing policy;
- an expansion of the municipal and affordable rental housing sector;
- an transparent and sustainable housing management;
- a housing policy based on broad partnerships.

The overarching goal of the Target Groups Regulation is to manage and balance the housing market with a strong emphasis on affordable housing. To achieve this, it establishes a framework for the development and maintenance of affordable housing options, including social rental housing, mid-priced rentals, and social homeownership. The regulation aims to ensure that housing remains accessible to target groups and supports long-term affordability.
A significant aspect of the regulation is its focus on social rental housing, which mandates that at least 30% of new housing projects allocate units for social rentals. Similarly, mid-priced rentals play a crucial role in bridging the gap between social and market rates. These units have rents set between the social rent cap and up to 1.3 times that amount, and they must maintain their mid-priced designation for a minimum of 20 years. The regulation also addresses social homeownership, categorizing it into two segments. The lower segment, with a maximum purchase price of €250,000 (2023 value), is designed for households earning up to 1.5 times the DAEB income limit. Meanwhile, the higher segment, capped at €355,000 (2023 value), targets households with incomes up to twice the DAEB limit. Moreover, purchase protection mechanisms are in place to prevent affordable homes from being acquired for rental purposes, thereby preserving their accessibility for the intended groups.

The Plan for better distribution of common, social housing across the entire municipality of Aarhus aims to ensure that the public housing sector continues to play an attractive and central role in the municipality's housing policy based on a well-founded and urban strategic plannig. The purpose of this plan is to identify potentials for new public housing in detached urban communities outside the Ring Road. The intention is not to shift focus from growth in the city center but rather - with a broader geographical perspective. - to contribute to creating a better distribution of public housing throughout the municipality. The Plan aims to ensure areas for housing development, providing a basis for a variety of housing types such as multi-family houses, low-density housing, and detached houses in the suburban towns in the northern, western, and southern parts of the municipality. In certain areas, the Plan considers relevant to build public housing to ensure a housing supply that meets many different needs, depending on the local context, such as the share of public housing in the existing housing stock, the school forecast, and the overall development in the area. With the expansion of the public housing stock, it will be relevant to maintain the already established focus on senior co-housing communities and ensure that there is an adequate supply of affordable housing for, among others, the city's vulnerable citizens.

The Regional Social Assistance Programme for 2024-2030, adopted by the Podkarpackie Region in April 2024, presents the main social problems affecting the inhabitants of the region, sets out the directions of activities related to improving the lives of the inhabitants of Podkarpackie Region and preventing their social exclusion. A key focus of the programme is addressing the urgent need for affordable housing, particularly for vulnerable groups such as elderly people, individuals experiencing homelessness, those living in poverty, and others at risk of social exclusion.
The programme outlines five specific objectives that directly and indirectly relate to affordable housing and social support:
-Development of social services to provide active forms of assistance in local environments, including housing solutions.
-Counteracting poverty, with a focus on enabling access to secure and affordable living spaces.
-Counteracting homelessness.
-Support for senior citizens, ensuring affordable and accessible housing for the elderly.
-Strengthening social assistance personnel, equipping them to address housing-related challenges more effectively.
The programme is in line with the “Regional Development Strategy - Podkarpackie 2030” and it thematic areas “Actions aimed at reducing the level of poverty and social exclusion in the region”, including measures to develop a network of affordable housing.

The overall objective of South East RP 2021-2027, funded by the ERDF, is to increase regional economic competitiveness and improve the living conditions of local communities by supporting the development of the business environment, infrastructure and services, in order to reduce intra-regional disparities and support the sustainable development. The priority addressed is Prior. 6 ”An attractive region”, Action 6.1 “Integrated development in urban areas through urban regeneration, heritage conservation and tourism development” which responds to the Regional Strategic Obj. no. 6 “Economic and social development of the SE Region by exploiting tourism resources and cultural, historical and natural heritage, as well as urban regeneration actions”. While the current policy instrument does not explicitly address social housing, there is a strong commitment to improving the policy instrument, particularly under Priority 6, Action 6.1, to integrate affordable social housing on the basis of the results of the interregional learning process carried out within the project and demonstrate a clear intent to align the regional policy with project objectives. As MA of the policy instrument, the South East Development Agency has the authority to enact changes, as reflected in the recently published version of the OP (June 2024), which indicates the potential for improvement based on evolving regional needs and interregional exchanges.
