About us
The European Responsible Housing Initiative (ERHIN) has been a project implemented by DELPHIS, Housing Europe and the International Union of Tenants, co-funded by the European Commission (DG Enterprise).
The project was carried out between April 2013 and October 2014, with a view to lead the way towards better embedding CSR in the social housing sector, through awareness-raising, transfer of knowledge and tools and stakeholder dialogue at European level.Since then, the consortium kept the Initiative alive organising the 2016 and the 2019 editions of the European Responsible Housing Awards.
The final ceremony of the European Responsible Housing Awards 2022 took place in Helsinki (Finland) on 16 June, during the International Social Housing Festival. Finalists and winners joined us to celebrate this festive moment.

The European Responsible Housing CSR Code of Conduct
The CSR Code of Conduct guides and commits Responsible Housing providers to integrate Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) principles into their business strategy and translate them into concrete practices. This commitment shall be monitored on a regular basis and in cooperation with the ERHIN partners.
The European Responsible Housing Declaration
Affordable housing providers agree on clear principles for long term investment in building construction and renovation, neighborhoods, human resources, and fair relations with stakeholders, notably the tenants. Through the European Responsible Housing Declaration, housing stakeholders call for the development of CSR in public, cooperative and social housing.
The European Responsible Housing Roadmap
Housing federations can play a significant role in developing CSR, helping their members implement its principles. This Roadmap sets out a framework of the sector’s challenges and stakeholders, based on a shared understanding of CSR. It then identifies key priorities as well as examples of actions that can be taken by federations at regional, national or European level.
