About
Home Renaissance Foundation was founded in 2006 by an international group of academics and professionals to explore the social function of the home, an essential function due to its impact on personal and family well-being and its role in the construction of a more humane future society.
During these years of academic research, we have deepened our understanding of the concept and value of the HOME by publishing work with major academic publishers focusing on four pillars:
PEOPLE. The home has a strong impact on the individual and the relationships he/she builds, so we must work towards stable development, recognizing the home as the main asset of society. Â It is the person who turns his or her house into a home.
WORK. The home needs to be understood and managed to be a healthy environment in which the individual can develop healthily. This work, both emotional and physical, is a responsibility shared by all members of the household.
CARE. Every human being needs a significant level of care to thrive, whether they are children adolescents, elderly, or people at any stage of life where the demands of work or circumstances mean support is needed. We are committed to leadership based on care.
ENVIRONMENT. The physical place where we live plays a significant role in the development of our lives. It is where we shape our future, where we learn to live with others, where we define our values, where we seek shelter, protection and security.
Major Objectives:
Through interdisciplinary research, we aim to:
- Provide evidence for the vital social function of the home
- Lead a culture of excellence in the care of the home
- Act as a catalyst to put the home back at the heart of society
HRF – making homes for good and all.Â
