ABOUT
Based on the success of the previews HOME project, ran from 2019 to 2020, HOME² is a 30-month initiative dedicated to revolutionising student housing experiences across Europe. HOME² will deliver impactful outcomes, including updated student housing quality labels, policy recommendations, and an improved user-friendly housing solution to allow mobile students to find quality accommodation via the Erasmus+ App.
As part of the project, UIPI plays a role by conducting in-depth analysis of challenges faced by professional student housing providers and smaller-scale landlords in the private rented sector. UIPI’s activities include desk research, surveys targeting focus groups, and the development of guidelines to address these challenges and improve the student accommodation landscape across Europe.
At UIPI, we are thrilled to be part of HOME² and continue our journey towards facilitating international student mobility.
Student accommodation, particularly international student accommodation, is a dynamic and rapidly evolving market. It possesses its own unique set of demand and presents a distinct challenge.
When UIPI first embraced the HOME project, alongside key stakeholders in the sector, it was not only an opportunity to delve into the realm of student housing accommodation, but also a chance to contribute to the development of a common language that caters to the needs of our members who provide housing, as well as students and young professionals.
Through initiatives like HOME², we remain dedicated to addressing these unique demands and challenges. Our mission is to demonstrate our members’ commitment to delivering high-quality accommodations, adapting it to the diverse needs of various population segments, and to support their work to ensure that reliable and secure housing becomes a reality, including for those embarking on their educational journeys far from home.
