I was the co-lead author for an R&D project to analyse the existing housing situation in Estonia and propose new policies. The analysis forms the basis for the housing policy of the state for years to come. On the back of this analysis I was also commissioned to further develop the policy packages by the Ministry of Climate and have been advising the policy development process throughout the following steps.

Official description:
The purpose of the commissioned work is to obtain an overview of the availability, affordability and quality of the Estonian housing market, on the basis of which to develop recommendations for Estonian housing policy. The “Coalition Agreement 2024-2027”1, signed on 22 July 2024, has set the goal of the coalition government program to launch a program that promotes the creation of homes, within the framework of which a housing policy strategy must be developed at the national level. In addition, the coalition agreement outlines the acceleration of the reconstruction of residential buildings in rural areas, the end of unfair competition in the provision of short-term rentals, and the continuation of the rental housing program.
