The research examines the regulatory framework governing the eligibility requirements for access to public residential housing (ERP), with particular attention to the residence criterion and its compatibility with constitutional principles.

La ricerca analizza la disciplina dei requisiti di accesso all’edilizia residenziale pubblica (ERP), con particolare attenzione al criterio della residenza e alla sua compatibilità con i principi costituzionali. Pur muovendo dal diritto all’abitazione come sfondo valoriale, l’indagine si concentra sulla legittimità dell’uso della residenza – semplice o prolungata – nella selezione dei beneficiari delle abitazioni pubbliche. Tale requisito, frequentemente valorizzato dalle normative regionali e comunali, svolge un ruolo centrale quale elemento di collegamento territoriale tra individui ed enti locali, incidendo direttamente sulla fruizione delle prestazioni sociali. La questione presenta rilevanti profili costituzionali: la residenza, se da un lato consente la programmazione delle politiche abitative, dall’altro può dar luogo a trattamenti irragionevoli o discriminatori qualora sia impiegata in modo eccessivamente rigido. La Corte costituzionale ha più volte riconosciuto la legittimità del criterio territoriale, ma ha censurato quelle discipline che trasformano la residenza in un ostacolo all’accesso ai diritti sociali. La ricerca ricostruisce sistematicamente gli orientamenti della giurisprudenza costituzionale relativi all’uso della residenza quale requisito di accesso o criterio selettivo, integrandoli con i principali contributi dottrinali. L’obiettivo è individuare linee evolutive e indicazioni utili a orientare le future scelte del legislatore regionale.
La residenza qualificata come criterio per l'accesso all'edilizia residenziale pubblica: un problema di diritto costituzionale.

Abstract
The research examines the regulatory framework governing the eligibility requirements for access to public residential housing (ERP), with particular attention to the residence criterion and its compatibility with constitutional principles. Although the right to housing serves as the underlying value framework, the analysis focuses on the legitimacy of using residence—whether simple or prolonged—in the selection of beneficiaries of public housing. This requirement, frequently emphasised in regional and municipal regulations, plays a central role as a territorial connecting factor between individuals and local authorities, directly influencing access to social benefits. The issue raises significant constitutional concerns: residence, while enabling the planning of housing policies, may also give rise to unreasonable or discriminatory treatment when applied in an overly rigid manner. The Constitutional Court has repeatedly recognised the legitimacy of territorial criteria, but has also censured those regulatory schemes that turn residence into an obstacle to the enjoyment of social rights. The research systematically reconstructs the orientations of constitutional case law concerning the use of residence as an eligibility requirement or selective criterion, integrating them with leading scholarly contributions. Its aim is to identify emerging trends and provide guidance for the future choices of regional legislators.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
