The plan includes the first-ever EU summit of heads of state or government on housing, to be held in 2026. The summit will launch a new European Housing Alliance, bringing together cities, regions, national and EU institutions, as well as key housing stakeholders.

In 2026, the Commission will also present an energy efficiency financing support package and a citizens’ energy package aimed at further lowering energy bills, with a focus on addressing energy poverty. Additionally, the Commission will introduce the EU anti-poverty strategy, tackling homelessness and the root causes of poverty.
