Collaborative housing cooperatives

he Canary Islands are exploring new approaches to housing access at an event on collaborative housing cooperatives to be held on 22 May at Club La Provincia in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. This event provides a forum for meeting and dialogue to share experiences, lessons learnt and ways forward regarding cooperative housing under a right-of-use arrangement in the Canary Islands.

Throughout the day, organised by the Canary Islands Government’s Department of Welfare, the event will address approaches linked to public-community collaboration, public housing policies, care, health, social transformation and the current situation of this model in the archipelago.

Our colleague Andrea Pozo, a researcher at Matia Institute, will attend this event to present Euskadi Lagunkoia Berria at a panel discussion entitled: ‘Living together: care, health and social transformation.’
