The Right to housing is not guaranteed in the Constitution. However, some aspects of housing are legally regulated. According to the Social Welfare Act, the regional welfare offices are responsible to provide the most appropriate material support and emergency shelter, and according to Section 8 of the Grand Ducal regulation, to also provide support/social assistance in a coordinated fashion.
In terms of the European Court of Human Rights, Luxembourg has signed the Revised European Social Charter on 11/02/1998 but has not yet ratified it. It has neither signed nor ratified the Additional Protocol providing for a system of collective complaints.
