This article revisits immigrant newcomers’ local settlement, by looking at their home-making practices, their local identifications and their everyday interactions with natives and long-term residents. By analyzing some community development initiatives in Trento, we critically discuss the prospects and dilemmas of social cohesion policies in new immigrant receiving communities. As our case study shows, local settlement is affected by preexisting social infrastructures and by the orientation of public policy, but also by two more critical factors: on the one hand, the possibility to understand and mediate between different views of home; on the other, the interplay between different ways of framing, attending and using neghbourhood spaces as more or less "home-like".
Keywords: Immigration, territory, local integration, associations, homemaking, community work
