Our Commitment to Address Homelessness in Rome

In Europe, homelessness is on the rise. Countries across the continent have seen large increases in the number of people who are homeless.

At Cisco, we take that imperative close to heart – taking on big challenges and doing what we can to make an impact are core to who we are. To further our efforts in making an impact, I am proud that this week we are announcing a commitment of $1 million over four years to support a Housing First pilot in Rome with Comunità di Sant’Egidio, an organization that for 50 years has addressed poverty in Italy and in other countries around the world.
