Fondazione Impact Housing (FIH) is a non-profit organization committed to driving urban regeneration and social innovation, by promoting and channeling impact finance across Europe.

FIH’s mission is to highlight why impact housing represents a unique opportunity for a new generation of impact-driven investors, with the goal of fostering the scalability and replicability of this model.

Living with Impact

We aim to create a new operating culture around housing — one that breaks down the traditional barriers between public and private sectors, market and social logics, profit and non-profit approaches.

We believe in the power of private investment to generate positive social outcomes for individuals and their living environments — outcomes that are economic, environmental, and social.

For this reason, it is crucial to unlock financial resources dedicated to housing and to strengthen the capacity of organizations to deploy them effectively and measure the results they generate.

Measuring Impact

Impact assessment is a cornerstone of housing and urban regeneration strategies. It provides a systematic, evidence-based framework to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.

It enables stakeholders — governments, investors, and communities — to understand the real impact of their investments in terms of improved living conditions, economic development, and social well-being.

This knowledge is essential for informed decision-making, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently and that the desired positive change is achieved.
