Urgent: INPS Eviction Threatens Family in Rome’s Don Bosco Area

In an urgent development, the Instituto Nazionale della Previdenza Sociale (INPS) is poised to carry out another eviction in Rome’s Don Bosco area on Thursday, June 26. This time, the target is a family unable to join the buyout plan, leaving them with no other option. Activists and residents are calling for immediate intervention to prevent the disruption of this family’s life.

Families Left in Limbo as Social Policies Fail

The family in question has struggled to secure a mortgage despite repeated efforts with credit institutions. This impending eviction underscores the absence of adequate social housing policies over the past two decades, policies that continue to devastate communities increasingly vulnerable to such actions.

State-run INPS is now employing aggressive tactics to seize properties and push them into the auctions, often skipping alternative solutions like handing over unoccupied units to the municipal government. This approach disregards the greater need for social welfare, especially in light of Rome’s strategic housing plan which INPS could be exploiting further.

On Tuesday, June 23, Asia-USB union met with officials from the Housing Policies Department of Municipality of Rome to push for expedited housing plans. There was agreement among officials to negotiate with INPS and the Prefecture to avert further evictions. Union representatives demanded activities to be aligned with Rome’s housing policy and felt that a suspension of evictions was both necessary and feasible.

The Road to Auctions: INPS’s Aggressive Stance

Despite INPS’s social mandate, its actions are displacing families who rely on the state’s support. The institution is taking advantage of legal provisions to evict tenants and push these properties to market. Furthermore, INPS’s reluctance to collaborate with the Municipality in safeguarding housing options adds to the strain.

Italy has witnessed a substantial wave of evictions in recent years, largely due to-z systematic gaps in policy that benefit investors more than the average family. These issues indicate a broader structural failure within social housing systems, leaving residents with bleak futures.

As part of its strategic housing plan, Rome aims to support families within their communities. However, the absence of a concrete agreement between the Municipality and INPS leaves these families hanging in legal limbo, awaiting a decision that will alter their lives irrevocably.

Activists Rally Support for the Struggling Family

Asia-USB will be at the forefront on Thursday, June 26, at 8:00 AM at via Calpurnio Fiamma 142, supporting the affected family and ensuring presence in case of eviction proceedings. Previous attempts revealed a sharp agency of the INPS’s legal counsel to use public force like the Celere to execute evictions unabated.

Preventative Actions and Long-Term Solutions

Experts call for more collaborative efforts between the state, private sectors, union advocacy groups, and civic administrations to devise more holistic eviction-prevention strategies. Backend financial support and flexible housing policies can alleviate the economic strain on families and provide long-term stability.

These measures require widespread support from the community, unions, and the public to ensure that the appropriate resources are available for those who need them the most. Besides, signing petitions, participating in community forums, and lobbying local representatives can help drive policy changes that might prevent such scenarios in the future.

As the eviction deadline looms, the urgency for policymakers to address the social housing crisis grows. The fate of countless families hinges on these crucial decisions, reminding us all that the future of community support lies in our collective action.
