Overview
- The Chamber of Deputies approved the government's emergency decree by confidence vote, with 168 votes in favor on June 23, sending the text to the Senate for a second reading.
- The plan aims to deliver 100,000 accessible homes over ten years and requires projects to dedicate at least 70% of residential units to price- or rent-capped housing and up to 30% to market-rate units.
- A Programma straordinario will channel about €970 million for 2026–2030 to recover public and social housing, alongside a €8.5 million top-up for the 2026 student housing fund and €45 million for Defence property spending from 2026–2028.
- Felice Squitieri is named extraordinary commissioner through 31 December 2027 to map public assets and coordinate action while Invitalia and municipalities are tasked with supporting refurbishments and creating student residences.
- The decree must be converted into law by 6 July or it will lapse, which creates a narrow window for the Senate to act and poses practical risks from finding suitable public properties and completing fast-track refurbishments that determine whether students, workers and public-sector staff see quicker access to affordable housing.
