Rent bonus for separated parents, 7,400 applications accepted

88% of those admitted are Italian citizens, while 12% are foreign citizens, of which 3.5% come from EU countries and 8.5% from non-EU countries. The measure was built to intercept a wider audience than traditional forms of social support: the income requirement, in fact, refers to the Irpef income, up to 35 thousand euros, and not to the ISEE. A choice that also allows us to reach the so-called gray band, made up of parents and families who work and have an income, but who after a separation may find it difficult to afford the cost of a new home. The data confirm the economic dimension of the phenomenon: 60.3% of those admitted have an income of up to 25 thousand euros a year.

56.9% are men and 43.1% women, while over half of the applicants are between 45 and 54 years old. Almost one in two beneficiaries has at least two children.

For the Vice President of the Council and Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Matteo Salvini, who strongly wanted this bonus, "the strong response to the measure confirms the importance of having given attention to a form of housing hardship often left on the margins of support policies". The objective, the minister underlined, "is to quickly transform the measure into concrete help: thousands of mothers and fathers will receive the contribution by December, being able to count on support for housing expenses even before the end of the year". Also in light of the needs that emerged in the first year of application, the Infrastructure Decree significantly strengthens the measure for 2027: the Fund is in fact increased by a further 30 million euros, going from the current 20 to 50 million euros.

The ranking is being registered with the competent control bodies. Once this step has been completed, it will be published on the MIT institutional website and the necessary actions will be adopted to guarantee the disbursement of all contributions by December.
