The right to housing for the poorest families is currently not guaranteed due to the inadequate size of the public housing stock, its age and state of maintenance, and its management conditions. This general negative judgement differs in Italy’s regions and cities. The economic and social diversities of urban contexts are mixed with institutional and management differences, with the physical characteristics of the heritage and also with regional regulations governing the matter in different ways. The confused situation, which is the result of the State’s prolonged lack of interest, seems to require, as a preliminary step, the creation of a common regulatory reference framework, starting from the unambiguous definition of the multiple forms into which what, until the early 1990s, were public housing and subsidized and assisted housing.

The main objectives of a desirable State intervention are identified in the following points: the preservation and redevelopment of the existing public housing stock; the increase in the number of public housing units in urban regeneration operations referring to public sector real estate assets; the extension of the housing offer at calmierized rents that the social and private sector can put in place; the integration of housing policies with social policies. The training of appropriate professional skills in the real estate management of social housing is of national importance.
