The European Network on Independent Living (ENIL) recognises the importance of the European Commissions initiative to develop an Affordable Housing Act and the urgency of addressing the housing crisis across the EU. However, the current framing does not sufficiently reflect the fundamental rights dimension of housing, particularly for disabled people.
