Budget

The total budget for the CERV programme is €1.56 billion from 2021 to 2027.

EHC fit

The Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) programme, launched in 2021 and running until 2027, aims to protect and promote rights and values enshrined in the EU Treaties and the Charter of Fundamental Rights. It supports civil society organisations active at local, regional, national, and transnational levels to develop open, rights-based, democratic, equal, and inclusive societies based on the rule of law. For the European Housing Cooperative (EHC), the CERV programme could provide financial and other forms of support through its various strands. The most relevant strands for EHC would be the "Equality, Rights and Gender Equality" and "Citizens' engagement and participation" pillars. These strands focus on promoting rights, non-discrimination, equality, and advancing gender and non-discrimination mainstreaming, as well as encouraging citizens' engagement and participation in the democratic life of the Union. Potential similar projects that received funding in the past include initiatives focused on social inclusion, housing rights, and community development. For example, projects aimed at promoting affordable housing, combating homelessness, and fostering inclusive urban planning could be considered analogous. The CERV programme has supported almost 600 projects with around EUR 260 million in its first two years, indicating a strong commitment to funding initiatives that align with its objectives. To explore funding opportunities, EHC can apply for CERV funding through the European Commission's funding and tenders portal. Additionally, contacting national contact points or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) can provide further guidance and support.
