HOW TO BECOME PART OF AN EXISTING PROJECT?

1. Become a partner


To be able to be part of an existing group or project of Sostre Cívic you must be a partner of the cooperative.

Ordinary General Assembly of 2019

All the members of the cooperative can participate in the different projects of cooperative housing in right of use that the entity promotes according to the characteristics and criteria established and the regulation of the Bylaws.

You can process your registration as a partner in the following form!


2. Get to know the groups and projects


You can consult on this page which promotions we have with vacant homes, or which projects have registrations open to be part of the driving group.

We also recommend attending the monthly informative chat to learn about the projects we promote and how we work a Sostre Cívic. Occasionally we also organize talks about a certain project when there is a group formation or waiting list process.

Information session open to the ECOS Group

3. Waiting list


Regarding our projects:

      • Projects in the promotion and development phase: These projects have a waiting list set up of interested expectant partners who opens at specific times, usually when the group is formed or when, due to withdrawals from the project or for other reasons, it is necessary to fill the group in its entirety. The process of setting up this list takes a certain amount of time, which is usually between 15 days and a month. Once the list has been set up, the partners are informed of their possibility of entering the project according to the seniority of the partner. If a project in development is not open to new additions or has a waiting list, you can subscribe to it as an interested person on the project page. In this way you will receive the notification of the opening of registrations directly in your mail. This subscription, however, is for informational purposes only.
      • Projects in the coexistence phase: When the group is full and the coexistence stage begins, the waiting lists created in the promotion stage are deleted. Thereafter, if the project is cancelled, all partners will be notified and a new waiting list of expectant partners will be generated, which will be removed once the new person or people join the project .

As for the seed groups, most of them are closed waiting to find a heritage. It will be at that moment of consolidation of the project that many of them will incorporate new partners. Find out which of our groups are open and looking for new members here, with the filter "Open to new members".

If you are a partner, you can sign up for open processes and check the waiting lists where you are registered through The Internal, management and communication tool for members.


4. Incorporation criteria


The main criterion when transferring the right to assign the use of a home is the seniority order on the waiting list of expectant partners.

Some projects may establish specific access criteria to be able to access the future right of use:

      • By age: Senior projects can establish the age that partners must be to join the project.
      • Land ownership criteria: In the event that the land is owned by a public administration, it can establish a diversity of criteria so that the project is aligned with the public policy that it wants to promote. Criteria can be established in relation to the coexistence project, the place of residence of the future users, the relationship with the environment, the energy efficiency of the building or the mix of uses and users, among many others
      • Official protection requirements: In the event that the project is located on land or a building intended for housing with official protection, the people who live there must meet the requirements to access this type of housing and be registered in the Land Registry bidders for Housing with Official Protection. The requirements required to be registered in the Register must be effectively met at the time the application for registration is submitted and must be maintained throughout the entire period until the entry to live .
