FONDO SALVACASA

Fondo Salvacasa is an idea born few years ago after 2009 crisis where real estate market faced a progressive fall in residential property value, especially in suburban areas.Since then the sale value of the enforced property could not pay off the debt and also began to be systematically lower: without liquidity the debtor could not change his position remaining without a house, without money and still with a partial debt.

 

This is why we came up with a solution that we called Fondo Salvacasa – a social security cushion granting a return. It is a social housing fund that would take part to the auction, according to well-defined criteria, based on foreclosure process on the primary residence and on economic condition of the debtor.

 

Months ago, Guber met a workgroup who was working on a similar project called Snowdrop i.e. that “pierce the frost of the social crisis”.

 

Guber immediately joined this project because union is strength.
