Cooperative housing and rooting to combat rural depopulation – Ateneu

The challenges of housing and rural depopulation can be addressed from social innovation and cooperativism. This is what proposes Revive house, A project that connects people and families with a desire to live in rural environments with city councils and properties of municipalities at risk of depopulation. The goal is clear: to give a new life to empty houses and villages that want to relive, generating alternatives of affordable and sustainable housing.

Driven by the Emprius Foundation and the cooperative CellobertReviu Casa is committed to cooperative housing in transfer of use as a transformative model that ensures stability, rooting and link with the community. A model that not only guarantees access to housing, but also promotes a new way of living and relating to the territory.

An opportunity for the rural world … and for people looking for a new start

Reviu Casa is not just a rural housing bag. It is a project that accompanies life processes, collective projects and a will to change. It offers support to those interested in moving, as well as the municipalities that want to reactivate empty housing and strengthen the local fabric.

Through an interactive map, the project shows the available housing opportunities throughout Catalonia, and facilitates contact with city councils or properties. At the same time, it offers legal, technical and social advice to turn these opportunities into viable and sustainable realities.

Social economy, decent housing and territory: an essential alliance

The Casa Reviu model fits fully with the values ​​of the social and solidarity economy: collective management, sustainability, community rooting and long -term vision. At a time when housing is one of the great social emergencies, initiatives like this open real paths to structural and participatory solutions.

From the Ateneu Cooperativa del Baix Llobregat we celebrate the commitment of Reviu Casa and encourage the cooperatives, people and institutions of the territory to explore new ways of inhabiting that put life and the community at the center.
