This is a quality seal created by the UNESCO Housing Chair at the Rovira i Virgili University and which evaluates and accredits good practices in the field of social housing management.
The Family and Social Welfare Foundation has become the fourth entity to receive the Certificate of Good Management of Social Housing (CVS), a quality seal that guarantees that the entity applies good management criteria to its social housing and to the beneficiaries.
The award ceremony took place last Thursday, November 28, and was attended by Lourdes Ridameya, head of promotion at the Catalan Institute of Finance; Dr. Héctor Simón Moreno, director of the UNESCO Chair of Housing at the URV, Núria Lambea, deputy director of the UNESCO Chair of Housing; Josep Maria Puig, president of the FIBS Foundation and Alfons Thió, manager of the FIBS Foundation.
During the event, the importance of this seal was highlighted given the lack of a legal framework at the Spanish or Catalan level that defines, delimits and harmonizes the activity of social housing management entities, also highlighting that the CVS Certificate is an initiative that allows for a standard of quality and good management of social housing and that it is gradually becoming a standard for the sector. The Chair is already working on the accreditation process for other entities.
44 parameters to analyze good practices
The Certificate of Good Social Housing Management (CVS) is a quality seal that evaluates aspects related to the governance and management structure of the entity, the sources of financing and the economic strategies followed, the management of the social housing stock and the services offered (typology, quantity and quality). It is awarded by the UNESCO Chair in Housing at the Rovira i Virgili University and consists of an evaluation of up to 44 parameters classified as good practices in the management of social housing that are based on a rigorous scientific study at a national and international level.
