A look back at the HLM 2025 Congress
A look back at the HLM 2025 Congress
Every year, the HLM Congress is a key event for understanding the issues, debates and prospects for social housing. Partner Loïc Hervé, a specialist in the real estate sector, visited the event to take the pulse of the market, meet the key players in the sector and identify the major trends ahead.
A social housing sector in the throes of change
The debates at the HLM Congress confirmed what many players had already sensed: the sector is facing a series of profound transformations. Social landlords have to deal with tighter budgetary constraints, regulatory reforms that are changing the framework in which they operate, and increased pressure to accelerate the energy transition of their building stock.
These developments call for new approaches, capable of reconciling economic equilibrium and social mission. For Loïc Hervé, this pivotal period represents both challenges and opportunities for social housing organizations.
A breeding ground for exchanges and perspectives
In addition to the conferences, the HLM Congress remains a forum for dialogue, where numerous social landlord managers, as well as institutional representatives and private partners, can meet. These discussions provide an opportunity to compare experiences, confirm certain strategic orientations and gain a better understanding of the sector's immediate priorities.
Key trends include the search for innovative financing solutions, the rise of digital tools for housing management, and the growing importance of energy efficiency projects.
