Who are we?
The European Federation for Living (EFL) is a transnational network of housing associations, companies and experts working across Europe and beyond to create more affordable, sustainable housing. We have over 70 members and associates from 19 European countries, with a joint portfolio of more than 1.300,000 dwellings and business units across Europe. And we’re growing by the day.
Combining the shared knowledge of social housing providers with the cutting-edge thinking of leading private sector companies and academic institutions, we make sure that our members and associates are at the forefront of innovating property and community development in Europe. Want to know more?
We convert new ideas into action.
EFL is results-driven and member-led. Our members are committed to working together to create concrete results – tangible, worthwhile projects. Together, we develop tools and services and co-operate in EU funded programmes. Our members and associates drive and shape our work: our staff act as facilitators, communicators, and consultants.
