Together We Are Better
A Project by Tor Vergata University of Rome
In recent years, the housing crisis has intensified, marked by a general decrease in the number of beds available in university residences on the one hand, and an increase in rental costs on the other. This situation affects both students and other members of the university community.
The project aims to create a virtuous cycle that supports both hosts – who receive a contribution toward household expenses – and guests – who find an affordable, welcoming, and peaceful place to live.
Together We Are Better is an intergenerational solidarity initiative designed to connect the needs of out-of-town students seeking affordable accommodation with those of families, couples, and seniors who have unused or underutilized spaces in their homes.
In return, hosts receive assistance with household expenses, minor help, and/or companionship.
Launched by Tor Vergata University of Rome, this project aims to tackle the issue of university housing shortage in a structured and unique way within the Lazio region, strengthening the university’s bonds with the local community.
Project Phases:
After Phase 1, which involved a preliminary survey among students, and Phase 2, in which questionnaires were distributed to potential hosts, we are now in Phase 3. This phase involves the launch of a dedicated platform, assembling a trained team, and providing all necessary tools to manage the service.
