What risks entail becoming a member?
Members won’t ever have any patrimonial nor legal responsibility. If, as any other company, the coop would default the only risk to members would be, at max, to lose the social capital’s contribution of 100€. Besides this worst case scenario, members will always be able to get their contribution to the social capital when leaving the coop.
How can you move into La Borda?
To join La Borda, you must meet the criteria for Barcelona’s public housing and apply to the cooperative to become a prospective member. All apartments are currently assigned. If there are vacant apartments, there is a waiting list where you will be notified about the possibility of joining La Borda, becoming a resident member with all the rights and responsibilities that this entails. You can sign up by emailing at administracio@laborda.coop.
