What are housing cooperatives with assignment of use?

The housing cooperatives are therefore non-profit entities formed by groups of people who need a home and come together to get it with the best conditions and the lowest possible price.

This model of access to housing generally involves some benefits, which are summarized here:

• First of all, there's the possibility of accessing long-term quality housing.

• The initial contribution is totally affordable, notably lower than those that are requested to buy or rent and that, in addition, can be recovered at the time of leaving if it has been agreed in advance.

• Monthly economic fees, much more than those offered by the rental market.

• The maintenance of the house is regular. The key to the maintenance of this type of housing is that its occupants are always members of the cooperative, which makes them interested in keeping it in good condition.

• The most important thing in this way of life is not capital, but people. This access way to the home fosters a new model of coexistence, more social, participatory and supportive.
