Social Rental Agencies: From Pilot to Policy

​Social Rental Agencies - From Pilot to Policy: Legislative Lessons from Poland’s SRA Model

​🏠 How can we unlock vacant private apartments for social good? Let’s talk about the Social Rental Agency (SRA) model.

​Right now, Romanian municipalities face a massive challenge: public social housing queues are endless, but building new apartments is slow and expensive. Meanwhile, the private rental market remains unregulated and inaccessible to vulnerable families.

​There is a faster way. Social Rental Agencies act as a non-profit intermediary, guaranteeing rent and property maintenance to private landlords while providing affordable, secure housing to families who need it most.

​The RO Housing Coalition invites you to a fast-track online workshop to learn how Poland successfully turned this model into nationwide law.

​✨ Guest Speaker: Katarzyna Przybylska, EU Public Affairs and Advocacy Associate Director from Habitat for Humanity Poland
