The 1st Social Rent Argentina Workshops have arrived!

Within the framework of our campaign #AlquilerSocialYA (#SocialRentNOW), started at the end of 2022, we are advocating for the implementation of social rent as set forth in Law Number 27.551. To that end, between September 4th and 6th we will hold the 1st Social Rent Workshops in Argentina.

This will be a participatory, joint event between different sectors to contribute to the building up of knowledge, to recognize challenges and to express ideas with respect to this type of access to housing.

It is our intention that these workshops would be a contribution to the understanding and search for solutions on the topic, which is why we believe it to be of the utmost importance to have as many perspectives as possible.
