Artealen Lagunak
Our Mission
The Arteale Foundation, established in 2017, developed the Pilot proyect “HOUSES WITHOUT PEOPLE FOR PEOPLE WITHOUT HOUSES” in which with a conscious rental contracts for migrants, it offers owners of empty houses the possibility of having a socially responsible rent based on trust
The Artealen Lagunak Association was born in 2020 from the need of the Arteale Foundation to carry out an inclusive day-to-day monitoring of the active rentals in the pilot proyect to promote a win-win relationship between tenant and owner and extend its development.
Our vision
The Association is constituted as a network of people committed to sustainable and collaborative city models.
To do this, we build bridges between migrant tenants and owners, favoring social cohesion and allowing the migrant tenant to be part of the community and the owner to find an effective solution to their empty home.
CARING FOR THE TENANT,
WE CARE FOR THE OWNER.
Our values
- Trust . We want to promote long-lasting relationships, which is why it is important to work together from honesty and fairness in dealing with all the people with whom we interact.
- Cooperation . We work collaboratively to achieve a shared objective in which all the agents involved have something to contribute.
- Innovation (flexibility and open mind). We seek creative solutions to everyday problems.
- Communication (empathetic and assertive). In the sense of properly expressing ideas, respecting others. It implies honesty, in the sense of expressing whether the information is positive or negative.
- Optimism . In the sense of approaching difficulties with good courage and perseverance from the belief that it is possible.
- … and the ones you want to teach us … We have a lot to learn from each other.
How do we do it
Understanding the owner’s needs.
Understanding by “houses without people” not only those that are uninhabited, but also those that are occupied by older people and that need to be co-inhabited.
Comprehensively identifying the needs of homeowner and migrant families to more effectively address their social integration.
Creating through volunteer connectors a network of collaborators (organizations, companies and local groups) so that they may offer opportunities and solutions to the identified needs.
Carrying out a continuous evaluation of the owner-tenant relationship that allows measuring the degree of satisfaction of both parties.
Standardize a “service model” that allows the Arteale Foundation to scale up the model.
