What Homers does

Homes4All s.r.l. Società Benefit is an Italian benefit corporation headquartered in Turin that recovers and valorizes abandoned or underused properties into social, student, senior, and cohousing housing solutions. Its portfolio of named projects spans northern and southern Italy and includes Studentato Cadidavid (183-room student housing in Verona), Social housing Borgata Tesso (16 apartments in Turin), Casa della pace (61-bed student residence with senior cohousing), Residenza al castello (64-unit senior and social housing in Alpignano), Borgo Cornalese cohousing, and Jazzo della Vedova (tourism and senior housing in Puglia), alongside property management services for private owners and public entities.

The company's core technology and differentiator is the SROI (Social Return on Investment) measurement framework, which quantifies economic, social, environmental, and relational impact per euro invested, combined with off-site sustainable construction techniques used in projects such as Borgo Cornalese. Homes4All is one of the founding entities of Fondazione Impact Housing, a foundation focused on advocacy, field experimentation, and promotion of responsible investment in housing policy.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid of property development project fees and ongoing managed property services, with three primary customer segments: impact-oriented investors seeking measurable social value, private individuals and public entities requiring property management, and communities seeking inclusive housing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is tailored per project. Operations are active in Piedmont, Veneto, Liguria, and Apulia, with leadership including CEO Marco Tabbia and President Matthew Robiglio. The firm secured early backing from impact investor SocialFare in 2019.

Regional players

• Peabody: UK housing association managing more than 104,000 affordable homes. Comparable in property management of mixed-tenure social/senior housing and community-led regeneration, though operating in a different national market.
• CDC Habitat: French social and affordable housing operator owned by Caisse des Dépôts, managing ~500,000 units across France. Comparable in scaled social housing operations, impact reporting, and adaptive reuse, but geographically distinct.
• CTP (UK Community Land Trusts Network): UK national body supporting community land trusts delivering permanently affordable housing. Comparable in community-led housing model and stakeholder mix, though operating as a support network rather than a developer.

Direct peers

• InvestiRE SGR: Italian asset management company (SGR) operating real estate funds dedicated to social and affordable housing in Italy. Directly comparable in mission, Italian market, and stakeholder mix (investors, public entities, end tenants).
• Habitat for Humanity Italia: Italian affiliate of the global nonprofit building affordable and social housing. Comparable in mission, beneficiary profile (low-income families, students, seniors), and community-led development approach.

Others

• Fondazione Housing Sociale: Italian foundation promoting social housing through fund-of-funds vehicles, policy advocacy, and pilot projects. Comparable in mission and Italian market; a potential partner or capital source rather than a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Lendlease: Global real estate and infrastructure developer with a growing affordable housing and urban regeneration portfolio (e.g., Elephant Park, Stratford). Comparable in residential development at scale and sustainability commitments, but far larger and broader.

Emerging players
