Abstract In Chile, social condominiums are a significant part of housing for low-income households. After decades of occupancy, this housing stock shows signs of rapid deterioration and devaluation due to neglected maintenance. Given the weak governmental support in management practices, third sector organisations are positioning themselves as alternatives to providing technical solutions and contributing to the enhancement of opportunities and capacities among communities that live in deprived areas. However, little is known about the dynamics between these organisations and the communities they work with as well as their interactions with their institutional environment in the context of improving condominium management practices. Employing concepts of intermediation and institutionalisation, we analyse the practice of the organisation Proyecto Propio. We describe the dynamics of the intermediary role as implementer of housing policy and catalyst of social innovation, and the institutionalisation of these practices. The main characteristic of their intermediary role in condominium management practices is a holistic approach as implementer and catalyst for complex interventions, situating the users at the centre of the process. The main challenges are related to institutionalisation: the inclusion of more incentives to scale up and consolidate the third sector as a relevant actor in housing and condominium management.

第三部门组织在智利社会公寓管理中的作用：以 Proyecto Propio* 为例

摘要 在智利，社会公寓是低收入家庭住房的重要组成部分。经过几十年的入住，由于疏于维护，这些住房存量显示出快速恶化和贬值的迹象。鉴于政府对管理实践的支持薄弱，第三部门组织正在将自己定位为提供技术解决方案的替代方案，并有助于增加生活在贫困地区的社区的机会和能力。然而，在改善公寓管理实践的背景下，这些组织与其合作的社区之间的动态以及它们与其制度环境的相互作用知之甚少。采用中介和制度化的概念，我们分析了 Proyecto Propio 组织的实践。我们描述了作为住房政策实施者和社会创新催化剂的中介角色的动态，以及这些实践的制度化。他们在公寓管理实践中的中介作用的主要特征是作为复杂干预的实施者和催化剂的整体方法，将用户置于过程的中心。主要挑战与制度化有关：包括更多激励措施来扩大和巩固第三部门作为住房和公寓管理的相关参与者。他们在公寓管理实践中的中介作用的主要特征是作为复杂干预的实施者和催化剂的整体方法，将用户置于过程的中心。主要挑战与制度化有关：包括更多激励措施来扩大和巩固第三部门作为住房和公寓管理的相关参与者。他们在公寓管理实践中的中介作用的主要特征是作为复杂干预的实施者和催化剂的整体方法，将用户置于过程的中心。主要挑战与制度化有关：包括更多激励措施来扩大和巩固第三部门作为住房和公寓管理的相关参与者。
