At the EIB Group Forum in Luxembourg on 06/03/2025, Commissioner for Energy and Housing Dan Jørgensen and EIB Group President Nadia Calviño underlined the importance of tackling one of the most pressing concerns of citizens and governments in the EU. They advocated a pan-European push that brings together local and national, public and private actors to catalyse finance and urgent action under the Commission's upcoming European Affordable Housing Plan. 

The EIB Group announced the launch of the EIB Action Plan to support housing. This plan includes a new one-stop-shop portal for housing, which will provide advice and financial aid to support innovation in the construction sector and the building of affordable homes. It will also encourage investment in energy efficiency and the renovation of housing stock across Europe. The EIB plans to invest around EUR 10 billion over the next two years.
