Federcasa represents 116 public corporations which, all over Italy, build and manage public social housing for the weaker classes.

Federcasa has been constituted with the name of Aniacap in Venice on January 16th 1950 as a national association of the independent institutes for social housing and their regional unions. In 1996 Aniacap became Federcasa, Italian Housing Federation, and joined Confservizi, the federation of public services enterprises.

Federcasa’s main task is to promote its associates (IACP, ATER, ALER, ATC, public joint stock companies for housing etc.) as organizations managing their estates with criterions of balance between costs and proceeds and co-operating with town councils to urban renewal.

Federcasa is among the founder partners of the European Committee for social housing, Cecodhas, which has represented ONGs which build and manage social housing in Europe since 1989.
