Service housing: CDP's 4thESSE of Social Housing starts in Friuli Venezia Giulia with Finint Investments

The first initiative that falls within the “4th ESSE” of CDP’s Social Housing, “Service housing”, is starting in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The residential offer at controlled rents dedicated to professionals in essential community services, as well as young workers, is one of the key elements of the Group’s new Strategic Plan and in this case it concerns employees of the State Police.

The promotional tool for the first projects of this new housing solution is the FVG Social Housing Fund (FSF Fund) managed by Finint Investments , whose main investor is the CDP Group through the Housing Investment Fund (FIA) managed by CDP Real Asset SGR and whose shareholders also include the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region and the Cooperative Credit Banks circuit.

The Fund has finalized two agreements with the Municipality and Police Headquarters of Trieste to assign adequate housing to families with priority to State Police employees stationed – even temporarily – in their respective territories. A similar initiative is being finalized with the Municipality and Police Headquarters of Udine.

Below are the details of the two projects:

• Trieste, Strada Cattinara . In Trieste, 15 social housing units (out of a total of 56) have already been reserved for State Police employees in a new social housing complex built in Strada Cattinara.

• Udine, ex Caserma Osoppo . In Udine, 10 social housing units will be assigned as a priority to Police Headquarters employees, among the 76 being built as part of the regeneration project of the ex Caserma Osoppo and those still available as part of other projects already carried out by the HS FVG Fund in the city.

“ From pioneering activity in social housing, to student housing and the first investments in senior housing, CDP Real Asset's investment strategy continues to support new forms of rent-controlled residential offerings” – recalls Giancarlo Scotti, Real Estate Director of CDP and CEO of CDP Real Asset SGR – “with service housing we are helping to respond to the need for work mobility in our country for workers in essential services and young professionals, in line with the 2025-2027 Industrial Plan”.

“With this new initiative – says Mauro Sbroggiò, CEO of Finint Investments – “we are nurturing our relationship with the territory by encouraging connections and dialogue between national institutions such as CDP and local ones. Together we are taking concrete steps to respond to two needs: on the one hand we are providing an answer to the housing need, on the other we are working on the urban redevelopment of our cities by recovering spaces otherwise destined for abandonment.”
