– THROUGH A MULTIDISCIPLINARY SOCIAL TEAM,
The project of the PON METRO CT 3.1.a HABITO – Social Agency for Housing – stems from the detection of the growing housing discomfort in the Metropolitan City of Catania, due to social, demographic and economic changes and problems that have severely tested the municipal and metropolitan welfare system.
The project is aimed at implementing, within the Social Agency for Housing, the service of integrated accompaniment to sustainable housing by means of a multidisciplinary social team.
As a whole, “Habito” tends to the development, in the metropolitan context of Catania, of a housing-services system aimed at promoting community empowerment, by means of an agency that acts as a service hub for social housing and for the socio-economic inclusion of the most vulnerable families. This integrated platform of services, including integrated accompaniment by a multidisciplinary social team, is based on the methodological paradigm of ‘housing first’.
The service is aimed at people and families belonging to weaker groups, those living in precarious housing and/or at risk of eviction, those in a state of destitution, those at risk of marginalisation due to old age, or because they are disabled or out-of-town students.
– THROUGH A MULTIDISCIPLINARY SOCIAL TEAM,
The project envisages the activation of the Social Housing Agency, which, through the involvement of a multidisciplinary technical team, will have the task of activating technical services for accompanying people to housing, aimed at expanding the number of rented dwellings and lowering the relative rents.
The Social Housing Agency was set up to facilitate access to sustainable housing solutions, to provide information, guidance and assistance to citizens, and to be a coworking laboratory.
