How Uruguay's Co-op Federation Tackles the Country's Housing Shortage

Uruguayan Federation of Mutual Aid Housing Cooperatives (FUCVAM), founded in May 1970, embodies the spirit of community and support. Serving 35,000 families through 760 cooperatives in a nation of approximately 3.5 million inhabitants, they are a beacon of collaboration. With a cooperative school for children and numerous consumer, distribution, and worker cooperatives linked to their vision, they are shaping a brighter future. Enrique Cal, the president, moved to the cooperative with his parents at age 13 and thrived in its school, exemplifying the transformative power of cooperation.
