Social housing renovation Italy: which solutions in Dutch housing management model? Chapter 3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELATION WITH PUBLIC BODIES ATER has relationship with two public bodies that are, as mentioned before, the region, and the municipality of Roma. With regards to the asset management, ATER is charged with maintenance on the building and dwelling level. It manages entrances, storages, garages, common spaces (elevators, staircases and roofs), intermediate public spaces between two or more buildings and technical equipments within the flats that are shared at building level. The municipality is charged with management on the district level such as facilities of public spaces, waste collection, cleaning greenery and lighting infrastructures. The two parties are not coordinated or supervised by a body on the upper level, so a frequent consequence is that it is unclear what the border of the respective competences is. The municipality has at its disposal additional financial and intervention tools to deal with urban renovation; in the last years they were Contratti di Quartiere (District Contracts) and articoli 11 (articles 11). The main objective of these tools is urban renovation and since not many funds are allocated to intervene on the improvement of the buildings’ quality, the result is a set of punctual interventions excluded from a wider strategic renovation of the whole district. SUPERVISION SYSTEM Because there is no coordination at a national level, the supervision system is directly contributed to the regional level. In the case of Lazio, the region checks the financial activity, fixes criteria regarding management of the stock (sale and rent strategies, recovery of arrearages and credits), elects the board of directors, develops guide lines to be followed by the board of directors, and approves the Statue, the year program of activities, the budget and the restructuring plan. The external supervision is directed to an auditors committee, elected by the region. Its function is to check the book-keeping and financial management of the company and report the results to the region (Regione Lazio, 2002). As well as all the other institutes, ATER has to respect all the set of strict norms regarding design and construction of social housing introduced in the 1960s. The approval of the building license is regulated by a specific procedure specifically developed for social housing and the building budget is restricted to a maximum standard cost per square meter. At this moment not one European regulation is acknowledged. REGULATIONS Each institute has its own internal regulation represented by the Statue. It defines the functions of each single department within the company, the financing procedure and criterion regarding financial and accounting rules. (ATER Roma, 2004). STOCK The target group entitled for social housing in Rome includes low-income, elderly, sick people, handicapped, homeless, drug addicts and ethnic minorities. Nevertheless, as mentioned with regards to the allocation process, the target is wider and includes richer families. As a first result of the recent income census, it has been estimated that also people earning up to 180.000 euros per year live in a social dwelling; between 6.000 and 10.000 families are over the maximum income quote (pers. comm. Maltese, 2007). According to the law they should be evicted. The stock managed by ATER is typologically and technologically much diversified and consists of residential and non-residential estates built starting from the beginning of the last century till the last decades. The residential stock amounts to 55.000 dwellings in the rental sector plus 15.000 dwellings on mortgage, whereas the non-residential stock includes 300 building sites, 3.200 commercial rented rooms and 3.000 storages (common, garbage, wash-house and water collector’s storages). The social housing stock houses around 200.000 people, which represents circa 7% of the whole population living in Rome. 8. C PUBLIC BODIES SUPERVISION REGULATION TARGET GROUP STOCK TYPOLOGIES
Social housing renovation Italy: which solutions in Dutch housing management model? Chapter 3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking at the construction period, the stock is located over the consolidating city (between the beginning of the century and the 1950s), the expanding city (between the 1960s and the 1980s) and the transforming city (after the 1980s) (Moranti, 1988). The stock of the expanding city is composed by three housing typologies that are the ‘in line’ block, a kind of row house from 4 up to 15 storeys high; the ‘courtyard’, which derives from gathering the ‘in line’ block around the vertical structures; and the ‘tower’, usually from 6 to 14 stories high. In agreement with the social housing standards, dwellings are 45m 2 per 1 person, 60 m 2 per 2 people, 75 m 2 per 3 people and 90 m 2 per 4 people, but often flats reach also 120m 2 . Further details about the stock are not immediately available and should be derived crossing administrative information with the cadastral paper database. Since there is no existing updated database, the institute is unable to know exactly what the size, the quality and the age of its stock are. Often, is not clear how a household is living in a dwelling, especially in those flats assigned more than 30 years ago. For this reason, ATER is 9. C QUALITY
