How we work
The Congress Eucarístic Housing Association bought 16.3 hectares of the old Can Ros estate, belonging to the Ros i de Ramis family, where the new neighbourhood was planned. It featured housing with generous space, facing two facades to ensure ventilation, and incorporating green areas. Shortly after, it was added to the neighbouring Indians' territory, transforming it into the neighbourhood of contrasts it is today.

One outcome of this event was the decision to build several housing estates for working-class families, among which the Congrés neighbourhood was the most significant.
