Homa is an Italian cooperative founded in Lecce in 2013, specializing in innovative housing services. Initially launched as Apulia Student Service through the Coopstartup Puglia initiative, the company has expanded its operations beyond its home region. Homa's primary objective is to develop and manage housing models that create value for property owners and investors. The cooperative operates the digital platform, cercoalloggio.com, which is Italy's leading portal for student and youth rentals, featuring verified properties and, since 2016, virtual tours.
The company's business model encompasses several areas. It develops and manages student housing projects, often in partnership with public institutions. Homa serves as an official provider of digital housing management services for numerous Italian universities and regional student service agencies (DSU), including those in Tuscany, Brescia, Bergamo, Insubria, Turin, Ancona, and Genoa. Additionally, the cooperative designs and runs social housing facilities, providing property, facility, and community management services for projects in cities like Bari and Matera. This involves managing properties with controlled rents for specific demographics and fostering community development.
For private property owners, Homa offers management services that enhance property value and guarantee returns through its network of property managers. The cooperative manages rentals in major university cities such as Milan, Turin, Florence, and Rome, among others. The company has transitioned to a cooperative spa structure, issuing financing shares to investors, property owners, and students to fund its expansion and development activities.
