OBJECT : This petition aims to invite the Government and the Chamber of Deputies to expand and institutionalize the "Logementsdësch" into a National Commission to Combat the Housing Crisis, which would meet monthly under the authority of the Prime Minister. In addition to the relevant ministries in this field (Housing, Home Affairs, Environment, and others), this Commission should bring together Syvicol, the Chamber of Employees (Chambre des Salariés), the Chamber of Skilled Trades (Chambre des Métiers), the Luxembourg Bankers' Association (ABBL), the Housing Observatory (Observatoire de l'habitat), the Real Estate Chamber (Chambre Immobilière), and NGOs active in consumer protection (ULC, Fondation pour l'accès au logement, Mieterschutz asbl). The responsibility of this Commission would be to develop, coordinate, and accelerate the implementation of a multi-year national response to the housing crisis, reporting on proposed measures and their progress to the Chamber of Deputies at least twice a year. Among the measures the Commission could consider are, among others: • The issuance of an annual public housing bond program of 500 million euros for 4 years, fully invested in the creation or acquisition of affordable housing. • A national target of 20% affordable housing. • Doubling the maximum amount of the state guarantee for housing loans in order to facilitate access to credit for first-time buyers.
