Italy's housing landscape: FHS investment-fund model + ERP
Italy is built on a Mediterranean ownership-heavy tradition. The early-twentieth-century cooperativa di abitanti tradition + post-WWII INA-Casa state-housing programme + post-2008 Fondazione Housing Sociale (FHS) social-housing-investment-fund model together form one of Europe's distinctive social-housing systems — institutional rather than scale-based.
Tenure mix: 29.2% renters, 70.8% owner-occupier, 4% public ERP (760000K apartments), 0.8% cooperative (250000K apartments across 450 societies).
- Owners70.8%
- Owner-occupier70.8%
- Renters29.2%
- Public housing4.0%
- Private rental24.4%
- Cooperative0.80%
4.2% of dwellings additionally carry an ERP covenant.
Rent spread: ERP €2.80, cooperative €4.80, all-stock €8.50, new contracts €13.20, furnished €17.80 per square metre.
Vacancy: residential 22.2% (very high — partly inheritance + tourism-related), office 13.5% with 4725000.00M vacant square metres. Net migration 492,000 inbound per year. Total housing 31208161.0M dwellings.

The post-2008 FHS investment-fund model + Legacoop Abitanti federation — the most-institutionally-developed cooperative-housing system in Southern Europe — is the next section's subject.
Il modello FHS — Fondazione Housing Sociale — ha istituzionalizzato l'investimento sociale in edilizia popolare attraverso un'architettura di fondi che il resto d'Italia sta studiando.
