Torino Solidale
Torino Solidale was launched in 2020 as a network of outreach points aimed at tackling material poverty and distributing essential goods, gradually evolving into a territorial welfare system structured around 17 neighbourhood hubs, which offer reception, listening, guidance and support services geared towards housing and social autonomy [1][2][3].
By 2025 the network had reached around 6,000 households, equivalent to more than 21,000 people, carrying out over 60,000 interventions including the distribution of goods, interviews and support pathways [1][2][3]. The network's development has been supported by two measures under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan: line M5C2, which enabled the upgrading of eight municipal service centres (six of which coincide with Torino Solidale hubs), and measure 1.7.2, which created around forty digital facilitation points, reaching 46,000 citizens with more than 65,000 services provided [1][2][3].
On 22 September 2026 the City Cabinet, on a proposal by the Councillor for Social Policies Jacopo Rosatelli, approved the new guidelines for the 2026-2028 two-year period, launching a co-design procedure with Third Sector organisations through accreditation under Article 55 of the Third Sector Code, with a possible one-year extension [1][2][3]. The City of Turin plans to allocate up to €1.75 million per year to the running of the network, to which up to €1.6 million over the two-year period from the 2021-2027 National Inclusion and Poverty Reduction Programme may be added [3].
