Ance leader calls Italy's housing plan a modest start amid limited resources, underscoring a large apartment shortage
Executive summary: Antonio Ciucci, president of Ance, stated that Italy’s recently announced housing plan is constrained in both scope and funding, describing it as merely a starting point while noting Federcasa’s estimate of a 650,000‑unit apartment shortage. The adequacy of the housing plan directly influences residential construction activity, housing affordability, and the allocation of public investment in the building sector.
Who is involved: Antonio Ciucci (Ance), Federcasa, and the Italian government authorities responsible for the housing policy.
Likely next: Further parliamentary discussion on housing funding and potential revisions to the Piano Casa to address the identified supply gap.
Antonio Ciucci, the newly elected president of the builders’ association Ance, said the government’s new housing plan is limited in scope and financial resources but represents a necessary first step. He cited a Federcasa estimate that Italy needs about 650,000 additional apartments to meet demand. The remarks highlight the gap between current policy ambitions and the sector’s supply requirements.
