Access to EU Resources
Session objectives:
– to provide an update on social housing policies, with reference to the Structural Funds and the new Investment Programs launched by the European Union
– to create a roundtable with the participation of government support, partnership and evaluation bodies (NUVEC) of EU programs and public administrations actively working on the topic (Managing Authority)
– to present success stories, sharing paths and processes implemented
EU Resources available to Social Infrastructure
The structural population changes of the last decade and the economic challenged inherent in new family nuclei have engendered new needs in the current social context. As a result, in EU-related contexts social living has taken on the connotation of a broad evolutionary process whose aim is to lead individuals to independence and, by extension, to social inclusion through the integration of welfare policies.
Although the theme falls both under the guise of “social infrastructure” and the broad and rich gamut of “social inclusion” services, thus easily lending itself to a blending logic, access to EU resources still remains a difficult road to travel.
This panel pursues a twofold objective: on the one hand, it intends to promote a roundtable among the stakeholders in order to identify the critical issues encountered in the current 2014-2020 Program that is about to run its course; on the other, it seeks to frame the evolutionary process that, in the new Program, sees resources leveraged within the more articulated social-impact investing framework, onto which the social issues at hand inevitably converge.

Discussion. Discussion with the ERDF Managing Authority and Representatives of Municipalities
Italy’s inability to access EU Social Housing financial resources, which became evident during the relevant discussions at the 2018 edition of Urbanpromo Social Housing, stimulated the main bodies active in the production and management of social housing to come together in order to reach the physical and financial substructure to formulate projects that can be funded by the EU. In the past year, Alleanza di Cooperative (Legacoop Abitanti and Confcooperative), Compagnia di San Paolo, Federcasa, Fondazione Housing Sociale, Fondazione Sviluppo and Crescita CRT have assembled a “national social housing platform”, which was introduced at the recent Housing Europe seminar in Brussels, on “How EU Funding can be used to support Social Innovation in Italian Social Housing Delivery and Management”.
