On Tuesday 10 March 2026, Fondation IDEA Asbl published Analysis No. 54, titled “The Permanent Housing Crisis or the Unacceptable as the Norm”, an analysis by senior economist Michel-Edouard Ruben examining the housing crisis in Luxembourg.
According to the analysis, concerns about the share of household income devoted to housing in Luxembourg are not new. For decades, public authorities have sought to address the issue through an active housing policy. Measures have included legislation on affordable housing dating back to 1906, rent regulations introduced in 1955 and the creation of the Social Housing Fund in 1972, later renamed the Housing Fund.
