N. whereas, in view of the severe economic, social and long-term impact of the crisis, not only on economic growth, employment rates and poverty and exclusion levels, but also on access to housing and on investment in social housing within the EU, urgent action on the part of Member States and the Union is required to guarantee access to decent and affordable housing; whereas, given that housing is the largest household expenditure item in Europe, the sharp rise in housing-related prices (land prices, purchase and rental prices and energy prices) is a cause of instability and anxiety, and must be seen as a major concern; whereas, give ...[+++]n that unemployment has also shot up in the EU, as is illustrated by the fact that the average rate for the EU 27 rose to 10,9 % in January 2013, and given that, at the same time, Europe’s population is ageing, there is a major risk of an increasing gap between rich and poor, social exclusion and homelessness, with 80 million Europeans already at risk of poverty;

24. Calls on the Commission to ensure, when monitoring intervention by the Structural Funds, that recital 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006 is implemented in full for the funding of housing using European structural funds and that appropriate accommodation is being provided for disadvantaged sections of the population by such subsidised housing through social rents and rent control that match the public subsidy;

Federal strategies, at different times over the last 25 years, have relied on a non-specific mixture of subsidies for renovation, emergency repairs, a remote housing program, a specific urban program, a rural program with a 50 per cent target of aboriginal occupancy, tax credits, shelter allowances, and self-help projects, including home ownership, that were short-lived.
