Fondazione Impact Housing, headquartered in Genoa at Via Asilo Garbarino 6/B, is a non-profit organization established to promote urban and social regeneration through innovative approaches to housing. The foundation was created by Homes4All—a start-up focused on addressing housing challenges—and a coalition of civil society organizations, seeking to rethink the role of housing in fostering inclusive urban communities.
The organization pursues research, pilot projects, and public-private partnerships to test new housing models and influence urban policy. Its work involves gathering and analyzing Europe-wide case studies, monitoring the effectiveness of pilot initiatives, and disseminating knowledge through scientific publications, toolkits, and public events. Fondazione Impact Housing also provides training and networking to build capacity among public, private, and non-profit actors engaged in urban regeneration.
Current activities include developing and testing pilot projects aimed at expanding affordable housing, sharing best practices in impact investing for social housing, and hosting round tables to convene a broad range of stakeholders. The foundation’s structure includes a diverse board led by Matteo Robiglio, reflecting expertise in property management, social integration, and impact finance.
While the foundation does not list specific projects or quantitative results on its site, its documented focus remains on leveraging collaboration to address housing needs in disadvantaged urban areas, particularly within Genoa and potentially other Italian cities. Its approach centers on data-driven solutions and the creation of partnerships to support vulnerable populations.
