    What this call funds

    This LIFE call funds projects that tackle household energy poverty in Europe, either by helping public authorities build long-term coordination structures to address energy poverty (Scope A), or by supporting the renovation of multi-apartment buildings occupied by low-income, energy-poor residents to reduce heating and cooling costs and improve health and comfort (Scope B). Projects should also address summer heat-related energy poverty where relevant and ensure residents can stay in their homes after renovation.
