Real Change

Empowering communities through support and opportunity.
Several individuals are engaged in a community cleanup, collecting trash from a gutter. They are dressed casually and are focused on picking up plastic bottles and litter. The setting is outdoors, with bags to collect the trash.

Our Story

r.e.a.l. housing began as a small community effort, growing into a trusted support network offering training, counseling, and legal aid.
A colorfully painted kiosk labeled as a community fridge is situated outdoors. The structure is adorned with vibrant illustrations of vegetables such as corn, peppers, and peas. It has a welcoming message, inviting people to 'Take what you need, leave what you can.' The kiosk is positioned in front of a brick building, and there are bicycles parked nearby. Additionally, a hanging basket of flowers and a wooden bench are present in the vicinity.
A red rectangular sign with the words 'we are social' is affixed to the exterior of a white building. The building features architectural elements such as window shutters and decorative molding, with visible piping attached to the wall.

Hands-on training sessions to build skills and confidence for employment.
A poster is pasted on a rough, beige wall. The text on the poster is in Italian, emphasizing the importance of social interaction and relationships in education. It calls for more open schools with additional teachers and classrooms, and ends with a hashtag.
