Housing Structure "Adama's House"

Adama's house is a project dedicated to supporting the social and professional inclusion of individuals holding humanitarian protection or special cases status, in response to the Italian Law Decree of October 4, 2018, No. 113. Located in Bibbiena, this facility offered, for years, concrete support to those who, due to the legislative changes introduced by Decree 113/18 (known as the Security Decree), no longer had access to the second phase of the reception system.

The decree abolished one of the three forms of protection for asylum seekers—humanitarian protection—replacing it with special protection. As a result, Casa di Adama was aimed at individuals who held humanitarian protection or the new special protection status, who, starting from October 5, 2018, were excluded from access to the SPRAR system (now SAI), unlike refugees and subsidiary protection holders, who retained this right.

Through safe housing and legal, healthcare, and employment support, Casa di Adama offered an immediate point of reference for those in difficulty. This initiative also aimed to prevent the negative consequences of the regulatory change, such as public security issues and increased costs for local administrations due to the indigent condition of humanitarian protection holders residing in the municipality.

Tahomà selected project beneficiaries based on the integration path they had begun during the first reception phase, believing that support opportunities should be given to those who had shown genuine commitment to integrating into the local community. However, Casa di Adama remained open to anyone facing this specific hardship, with no exclusions.
