Cantabria HOSTS
Its activity is mainly developed with people who are vulnerable under the diversity parameters.
It is civil-nature social-character non-governmental association whose aim is the hosting and social and legal integration of vulnerable people under diversity parameters, whether they are foreigners or Spanish. It was funded in 1922, together with other “Hosts” (Murcia Hosts, Guadalajara Hosts, etc.) and since then its strategy is the comprehensive care of the users who come seeking help, which involves a coordinated work of the social, legal and labour areas. Its activity is divided into four main blocks:

- Socially: it has direct consequences in the integration of the immigrant population in the community at all the levels mentioned. It enhances the welcoming feel, which generates a positive attitude both in the arriving people and in the hosting society.
- Methodologically: the follow-up of the individuals and their accompaniment in diverse processes, that have to do with the relation with the environment, let achieve a greater inclusion, improving the network of contacts of the immigrant, his/her knowledge on the hosting culture and, consequently, the mobility within it (judicial, political, cultural, participatory field, etc.).
