AYY accommodation policy AYYE 4/2012

AYY accommodation in a nutshell ~2500 apartments ~3200 tenants 70% of members would prefer student accommodation – AYY can offer accommodation for 20% – 1300 students in queue (estimated) The demand is being answered – Next 5-7 years: ~400 new apartments

Policy paper The trend now has been to BUILD MORE However a policy is needed for continuity Policy sets guidelines for the Housing activity – For the next 5-10 years Updated when things change – Questions that need answering: What kind of accommodation? How many apartments? Where?

Accommodation vision group 8 student union members 4 meetings 1 vision paper The groundwork for the ideological part of the accommodation policy

Accomodation vision paper Sets three goals: – Improvement of housing related communications – Activating and supporting tenant activity – Maintaining the current level of housing related services while developing the services to be more flexible and modern

How many apartments? Do we want to set a goal for the next 10 years? – AYY could send a clear message – A strong driver to meet the goal Risks – There is a limit to how many apartments we can own – reasons both demand related and economical – Maintenance costs – Land rents a source of uncertainty – Will student amounts diminish?

Where? The location is an important factor Selling old property perhaps not topical now but might be in the future The subway will change things a lot
