A new funding proposal would add further support for residents displaced by the Campi Flegrei earthquake sequence, with rapid repair aid for lightly damaged private homes and a multi-year plan to relocate unsafe public housing in Pozzuoli.
According to reporting by Il Mattino, the proposal includes a contribution of up to €30,000 per housing unit for rapid repairs to privately owned homes that suffered minor earthquake damage and were evacuated. The measure is aimed at homes where limited work could restore habitability relatively quickly.
The larger part of the reported package concerns public housing. The proposal would allocate €40 million to relocate unsafe Acer housing in via Coste d'Agnano Solfatara in Pozzuoli to locations outside the area exposed to bradyseismic risk.
That €40 million would be spread over three years: €10 million in 2026 and €15 million in each of 2027 and 2028.
The proposal would also continue the contributo di autonoma sistemazione and other housing assistance for displaced residents until evacuation orders are revoked and their homes regain habitability.
It is important to be precise about status: the available material describes the €40 million measure as a parliamentary proposal or amendment. It does not establish that the measure has been finally enacted.
A separate €50 million restoration framework already exists
The reported proposal should not be confused with an already assigned official funding framework for unusable private homes.
The government has said that €50 million was assigned over 2024-2026 to restore privately owned homes declared unusable in Bacoli, Pozzuoli and Naples after the seismic event of 20 May 2024. The corresponding decree, titled "Misure urgenti per la riparazione e la riqualificazione sismica degli edifici residenziali inagibili," was published in Gazzetta Ufficiale issue 6 of 9 January 2025.
That official framework covers eligible works, calculation of contributions, applications, disbursement, execution of work, revocation and reporting.
The available sources do not provide a consolidated total combining the official €50 million allocation with the newly proposed €40 million, nor do they explain whether any accounting overlap exists. They are best understood as distinct measures: one assigned restoration framework, and one reported relocation and rapid-repair proposal.
What residents should watch next
For displaced households, two practical distinctions matter.
First, the rapid-repair contribution described in the proposal concerns privately owned homes with minor damage that were evacuated. Up to €30,000 per unit would be available for that category if the proposal advances.
Second, the Acer relocation funding concerns a specific stock of unsafe public housing in via Coste d'Agnano Solfatara in Pozzuoli. The sources do not specify the exact number of dwellings affected or the implementation timetable beyond the annual allocations for 2026-2028.
The next decisive step will be legislative: whether the amendment is approved, in what final form, and which agency will administer applications and payments. Until then, existing assistance, including the contributo di autonoma sistemazione, remains the relevant support while evacuation orders remain in force.
