Community-led Housing for Students and Seniors - ISHF 2023

Housing insecurity can be a major concern for both students and seniors. We will discuss how social housing and sustainable architecture can solve problems of different vulnerable groups and provide a series of beneficial relationships for the community.

We will also showcase concrete experiences and exchange with participants on the role of student housing cooperatives in securing the right to education while providing an important supportive community throughout students’ academic life.
