International Comparison
Unlike Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, France, and Denmark, the UK lacks a cohesive policy framework for multigenerational housing. Germany, for example, has over 450 purpose-built multigenerational housing projects supported by the Mehrgenerationenhaus programme, which fosters intergenerational support with federal funding. Spain’s “Vive Convive” programme provides subsidies to elderly hosts, while the Netherlands offers competitive financing for social housing experiments.
