French term

Maison européenne du logement social

French to English Other Government / Politics EU social housing
The above term appears only once in a document relating to EU social housing policy and is a heading. I think it refers to some sort of programme that is either in place or being drawn up, although obviously I may be wrong.

"Une Maison européenne du logement social"

The paragraph below this heading discusses the fact that the various social housing organisations and players in the social housing market need to synergise their actions and operations.

'A European social housing house' means nothing to me, so any suggestions would be very welcome.

Many TIA,

Vicky

Note from asker:
Hi Juliette. I see what you mean, but 'Housing Europe Centre' was referred to as such elsewhere in the text.

EU docs can be lots of work. no freedom to invent a term-you have to use the terms 'they' use even if they seem weird.
