The explosion of the migratory phenomenon in those years with the massive arrival of young immigrants from North Africa, prompted the solidarity of many people and the social commitment of various associations in the area. Among these some Catholic-inspired associations (Acli, Ceis and Caritas of Reggio E., Servi della Chiesa, Confraternita S. Girolamo and Vicariato Urbano) found themselves in the constitution of the Cooperative "Dimora d'Abramo" to offer the community a capable tool of concrete answers to the emerging needs of the new situation. Over the years the Cooperative has grown and consolidated; and its evolution in many aspects is closely linked to the migratory phenomenon in the Reggio area. In fact, over the years, it is increasingly evident that the presence of foreign immigrants is not temporary but in constant growth and with the spread of family reunification, it is characterized as a stable settlement in our province. Therefore, from needs linked to emergency and mainly welfare, we pass to needs linked to the social integration of foreign citizens; think of access to social and health services or school integration which require facilitation and mediation paths for new citizens; or at Hence the decision to invest in information and orientation services: since 1995 the direct management of the municipal service Centro Informazione Immigrati di Reggio E .; since 1997 the opening of the Foreign Information Office in the Scandiano district. Since the end of the nineties, in the residential structures of Dimora d'Abramo there has been a transition to a more socio-educational approach to interventions through individual support and accompaniment paths for autonomy and social inclusion. In this period also the start of family support services through the family education service in general contractor with the Oscar Romero Consortium and the "L'incontro" apartment. The "Don Alberto Altana" Reception Center for minors was born, the planning and management of the Casalgrande Housing Service, the development of the Information Centers with the strengthening of the UIS and the opening of the Immigration Desk in Correggio, the collaboration in the Company's project for the House of which it is a member together with the Provincial Administration, the Municipalities of the ceramics area and the trade associations.
