The Housing Plan takes its first concrete steps. The Lombardy Region leads the way with 96 million euros through a call for applications published today. The objective is to meet the housing demand of families who cannot access either the private market or public housing, which the call identifies as having an ISEE between 14,000 and 40,000 euros. This will be done without new land consumption but by redeveloping approximately 2,500 public and private dwellings to be rented permanently at sustainable rents.

Three lines of intervention are planned: one for businesses, cooperatives, and municipalities, with an allocation of 48 million euros; one reserved for Aler, the Lombardy Company for Residential Building (35 million); the third (13 million) intended for social and religious entities involved in supporting vulnerable people and temporary accommodation related to study, work, and care.
Half of the resources come from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the other half from the National Development and Cohesion Fund. Beneficiary entities and private individuals can choose to prioritize certain categories, such as young couples, disabled people, public service workers or employees in companies with staff shortages, students, and also to waive ISEE limits for disadvantaged individuals.

The change of use “is possible only if it complies with current urban planning regulations.” Interventions that involve the complete demolition and reconstruction of the building, or the acquisition of areas or properties, are not eligible for funding. Participants in the call can submit multiple proposals, and in case of insufficient resources, a maximum of two projects per proposer will be funded.
The non-repayable grant is a minimum of 700 euros per square meter for projects with a destination constraint of at least 20 years, and increases to 900 euros if the constraint exceeds 23 years. The value of the projects submitted ranges between 200,000 and 2 million euros. Only for the “Aler line” does the maximum ceiling rise to 15 million, while no minimum threshold is foreseen for the third sector and religious entities.
