The document discusses a housing model for non-EU workers implemented by the Municipality of Calenzano, Italy. It hosted 40 non-EU citizens in 12 flats, costing a total of €1.9 million, with various government funding sources. Residents pay reduced rent of around €7/sqm per month. While the housing intervention itself is financially self-sustaining, local municipalities struggle under the pressure of providing social services to immigrants, which account for 25-40% of users but only 6% of the population. A long-term stabilization model is advocated to improve immigrants' lives and reduce costs to municipalities over time.
