HOMA Living, Distributed campus
A network of apartments spread across cities, with one local team and one shared standard.
Individual apartments and small portfolios, not necessarily adjacent
Rendita Garantita or Gestione Integrata, depending on the risk they want to keep
A local team per area and Cercoalloggio.com for demand; the apartments reserved for students are run by Rent Hub, a social enterprise
Instead of one building, apartments spread across the city, run by HOMA directly or through its companies under residential leases: students and young workers live side by side, living the neighbourhood with the same services a residence provides.
In many university cities the available stock is not student residences but apartments scattered across the urban fabric. Managing them one by one is unsustainable; managing them as a network (shared procedures, one point of contact for residents, a local team) works. That is the distributed campus.
Each apartment is assessed for location relative to campuses and transport, real demand as observed on Cercoalloggio.com, rent affordability, layout and long-term running costs. If the numbers do not add up we say so upfront, rather than filling a property that cannot hold.
Cercoalloggio.com connects the network to demand: listings, viewings, contracts and the accommodation-service tools reserved for students of the institutions we have an agreement with.
If the property is a whole building
The distributed campus is made of units spread across the city, under ordinary residential leases. A whole building can instead become a “convenzionato” (subsidised) residence, with controlled rates, ranking-based allocation and obligations towards the authority for the whole restriction period: that is the road for those awarded public funding. Contract, revenue and who sets the rules all change, so it is worth looking at them separately before choosing.
