The aim of the report is to examine the regeneration of real estate for collective interest purposes, focusing on the conversion of railway properties into facilities for the reception and initial assistance of homeless individuals.

It aims to analyze the complex processes involved in these initiatives, ranging from property acquisition to defining usage destinations, from financing restructuring activities to identifying sustainable and effective business models.

Through the analysis of specific case studies, the report seeks to provide an in-depth understanding of this form of asset transfer for social purposes, highlighting the challenges and opportunities associated with urban regeneration and support for the most vulnerable segments of society.
