Press conference on 25 July – ÖGB experts present comprehensive package for affordable housing
Vienna (OTS) – Housing costs have been rising dramatically for years. For more and more people, they represent an insurmountable hurdle. At the same time, real estate speculators are making record profits.
For years, the federal government has done far too little to ensure affordable housing. The measures presented so far are far from sufficient. The rent cap came too late and is largely ineffective.
The ÖGB is therefore calling for a comprehensive package for affordable housing. The experts from the trade union federation have drawn up a housing policy programme with the support of the Chamber of Labour, which we would like to present to you at a press conference.
The following people are available to talk to:
- Helene Schuberth (Head of the Economics Department at the ÖGB)
- Angela Pfister (economist in the Economics Department of the ÖGB; lead author of the housing policy programme)
- Thomas Ritt (Head of the Department of Local Politics and Housing at AK Vienna)
Deadline:
- Thursday, July 25, 2024, 10:00 a.m.
- Press room in the ÖGB Catamaran, Johann-Böhm-Platz 1, 1020 Vienna

We look forward to welcoming representatives from your editorial team.
