Concorezzo accommodation house

THE FOUNDATION

The low-intensity care home is located in Concorezzo in Via Camillo de Lellis 4 . It hosts 10 people on a residential basis and 2 people on a day basis. It has an agreement with the ATS of Monza and Brianza.

The Concorezzo house was founded by Riccardo Ratti, a Camillian priest who provided assistance to people affected by HIV.

Initially supported by some entrepreneurs from Brianza, the project lacked a formal organizational structure; for this reason in 2005 Don Ratti created the Cooperativa Esserci.

COLLABORATION WITH THE MADDALENA GRASSI FOUNDATION

< p>The occupancy rate of the house, however, is not high enough.

Therefore, Don Ratti seeks a collaboration with the Maddalena Grassi Foundation, known for its assistance to HIV patients.

In 2008, the administrative director of the Maddalena Grassi Foundation, Emanuele Flaccadori, joined the strong>Board of Directors of the Cooperativa Esserci with the aim of increasing employment.

A NEW ACCOMMODATION HOUSE

In2009, having achieved the objective, Cooperativa Esserci and Fondazione Maddalena Grassi opened a second community for people affected by HIV: a low-intensity care home.

THE CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT

When Father Riccardo is recalled by his order, the entrepreneur who managed the structure decides to entrust its management to Emanuele Flaccadori and Elizabeth Cendra, already responsible for the Seveso HIV House of the Maddalena Grassi Foundation.

THE RESTRUCTURING strong>

In 2017, considering the space available in the house, it was decided to start a renovation project to create new apartments. From the basement area, originally intended as a chapel, a two-room apartment, two studio apartments, a meeting room and a new chapel are created.

TODAY
