Congratulations to ZOA – Cooperative Open Architecture and ZEF – Cooperative for Ethical Financing on this major milestone! Your work to advance a cooperative housing model based on public-civic partnership and the right to build has led to a groundbreaking agreement with the City of Pula—the first time a municipality in the CSEE region has committed its own funds to a cooperative housing project.

This achievement reflects years of strategic advocacy and local engagement, and it comes at a critical time as more Croatian cities collaborate with the European Investment Bank on affordable housing and access to finance. We look forward to seeing how this model continues to grow and inspire others across the region.
