Housing: public housing run by Acer Parma, social flats and student beds at Mix House
All the city's public housing is managed by Acer Parma; it is allocated through a general municipal call, not currently open (the last was in 2020). In via Taro the PNRR-funded MAS1 – Mix House residence combines social flats for families and over-65s with beds for out-of-town students. OMI rents and prices are in the data.

Public housing (ERP)
Parma's public housing is publicly owned and let at a reduced rent based on the household's finances. It is obtained by taking part in the city's general call, under regional law 24 of 2001: the last one was open from 20 July to 23 October 2020 and none is currently open. Renovation, maintenance and administration of all the municipal public-housing stock are entrusted to Acer Parma. The 2020 call required, among other things, residence or work in Parma and residence or work in Emilia-Romagna over the previous three years.
MAS1 – Mix House residence
In via Taro the city has built, with PNRR funds (PINQuA programme), the MAS1 – Mix House residence: 60 flats, including 48 social-rent (ERS) flats for households and families and for self-sufficient over-65s, and 11 flats (nine three-room flats and two studios) with 20 single-room beds for out-of-town students, with shared spaces and a community manager. Students commit to three hours a week of help for neighbours (shopping, errands, company). The special call required online applications on Acer Parma's platform via SPID.
Offices
Public and social housing and housing emergencies are handled by the city's Housing Policy department, with its housing-strategy office at viale Vittorio Bottego 2/A and the public relations office (URP) at largo Torello de Strada 11/a. Tenants' unions and authorised tax-assistance centres (CAAF) help fill in online applications.
