Summary
Open EU call topic HORIZON-NEB-2026-01-PARTICIPATION-01 · HORIZON Innovation Actions. Part of call HORIZON-NEB-2026-01: Beautiful, inclusive and sustainable neighbourhoods for communities.

Housing-led approaches cover diverse policy responses to homelessness that provide immediate and permanent access to housing, targeted prevention, and needs-based, person-centred support services across several areas of the individual’s life while giving homeless populations a high degree…

- Impact: credible pathways to the expected outcomes, and measures to communicate and exploit results.
- Quality and efficiency of implementation: the work plan, resources and the consortium's capacity.
