Lombardy earmarks €96 million for social housing and €1.34 million for deaf inclusion
The Lombardy regional government approved a €96 million package for three social‑housing programmes, allocating €48 million for public‑private property leasing, €35 million for the renovation of ALER‑owned districts and €13 million for projects run by third‑sector entities.
Separate funding streams were announced for the third sector: €49,186 will strengthen the management of the National Single Register for the Third Sector (Runts) in the Province of Lecco, and a €2 million grant scheme will support volunteer Fire‑brigade units in the same province, offering up to €50,000 per project for equipment, vehicles and facility upgrades.
The region also approved a €1.34 million programme to improve communication for people who are deaf or hard‑of‑hearing, extending services and technological tools throughout Lombardy.
In parallel, the Invest in Lombardy initiative attracted 81 foreign companies, projecting roughly 4,800 new jobs and €2.799 billion of capital investment. The 2026 budget also secured €2.27 billion from EU funds and €2.28 billion from state sources, with an additional €614 million earmarked for the regional health fund.
