Housing communities
Housing communities
We support communities to promote forms of coexistence based on cooperation, mutual support, and connection with the territory and the environment.
And, for that reason, we provide them with tools to care for three pillars:
That is why, at Fil, we support organizations to:
- Shared vision and governance of the project
- The people, the relationships, and the group
- Decision-making and the management of leadership and power.
“Where there is space for intimacy, conflict, and love, there is a stronger community.“
Julie DiamondHow can we support your community?

Changes in community culture to promote inclusive, diverse, and non-discriminatory spaces

Management of discrimination and aggression from a restorative approach that involves the community

If you need comprehensive support in the self-promotion process of your collective housing, including architectural design, accounting and legal management, as well as facilitation and group support, you can rely on the Perviure cooperative.
Fil a l’agulla is one of the founding partners of Perviure, and we continue to ensure it includes a feminist vision, based on care and facilitation. We support their team in the development of their work.
