The “Cooperativa Andria” has been among operators in the social housing sector the one who have taken promptly and accurately the spirit of innovation that characterized the regional planning program in the first half of the Nineties, following the promulgation of the law 179/1992, which called a focus on the housing problems of particular social categories who in those years were highlighted in most cities and urban areas of the country: the elderly, young couples, immigrants. In response to announcements for subsidized housing developed by the Emilia-Romagna Region, Andria has implemented pilot-actions as real best practises.
