Description
The project concerns retrofitting of existing units and new construction of energy-efficient rental social housing by Woningstichting Eigen Haard in the years 2016-2020.
Objectives
The proposed loan will concern the financing of defined sub-projects of an investment programme of new construction of rented social and affordable housing, and potentially also some retrofitting, by a large regulated social housing company which operates in the Amsterdam metropolitan area. The housing investments to be funded will need to satisfy the EIB's eligibility criteria for urban renewal and sustainable cities and communities. The project will contribute to alleviating the shortage in Amsterdam's housing supply for low-income households.
