This interdisciplinary comparative project aims at building new knowledge in the domain of social housing, as an important policy instrument to combat poverty in Europe. The project is addressing the following research questions: Which type of social housing can be developed in Europe? How to finance social housing in a feasible and sustainable way? Which strategies can be adopted and which policy instruments implemented, when facing a structural crisis? The main foci of the research project are: (a) Southern Europe; (b) changes since the global crisis; (c) the micro-level of social housing; (d) its financing.
Original qualitative and quantitative research has been carried out in Italy on the new public-private ‘social housing’ policies and on the not-for-profit sector in this field.
