With the project Mur, in Martorell, for the first time we have acquired an entire building already built, through trial and retraction, and thanks to the fact that the cooperative is approved as a social promoter by the Housing Agency of Catalonia.
The homes in this project come from foreclosures and are acquired with an ICF loan with preferential conditions, subject to lower income requirements on the part of the people who access them than the general HPO.
This is a building built in 2008 that consists of 14 homes of different types. It is located in the neighborhood of Vila de Martorell, very close to the Town Hall and Plaça de la Vila.
RIGHT OF TRYING
We acquired the building through the right of first refusal in force since the approval of the Law Decree 1/2015 of extraordinary and urgent measures for the mobilization of homes resulting from mortgage foreclosure processes. With the approval of this decree, preference is given to the Generalitat, town councils and social promoters as a Sostre Cívic for the purchase of these homes.
The Housing Agency of Catalonia promoted one agreement with the Catalan Institute of Finance (ICF) to finance acquisition operations via netting from the ICF. The acquisition of this building has also been possible thanks to the financing of Fiare Banca Ètica, which has complemented the funding of the ICF.
Fiare Banca Ètica is a cooperative bank, of which Sostre Cívic it is also a partner entity, committed to the initiatives of the social and solidarity economy and specifically to the promotion of cooperative housing in right of use.
FREEING PRIVATE MARKET ASSETS TO TRANSFORM THE WAY OF LIVING
This purchase is the first of a series of acquisitions that are made to carry out the agreement approved in theGeneral Assembly of February 22, 2019.
The purchase of already built buildings is one of our strategic ways with the aim of activating assets for new cooperative housing projects in use and increasing the social housing stock in a much shorter time than with new construction projects.
In fact, the group of inhabitants started the first meetings and started working on the different community and group decision-making aspects after entering. We strengthen our bonds and our mutually supportive relationships to make another way of living possible!
