Families in Friuli Venezia Giulia will no longer be required to retain ownership of their first homes purchased with regional housing subsidies for five years if they have a second child, under new measures approved this week by the regional government.
The change is part of a €35 million ($38 million) package of amendments presented in the Regional Council’s First Integrated Commission, raising the total value of the region’s summer budget revision to €935 million ($1.02 billion). The figure is expected to climb to €1.19 billion ($1.27 billion) before final approval, with over €250 million ($268 million) still to be allocated.
The amendments include a €2 million investment to develop an area within the Interporto of Trieste, aimed at facilitating a joint industrial venture between the Italian firm Danieli and a Japanese company. Other allocations include €800,000 to support Pordenone’s campaign as Italian Capital of Culture and €175,000 for feasibility studies on a new stadium in the same city. An additional €1.8 million will go to the Osoppo Partisan Association.
The budget adjustment reflects the region’s attempt to stimulate economic activity, support cultural initiatives, and offer greater flexibility to families navigating housing needs.
