These organizations are driven by social goals and present themselves as an alternative for groups that have been left unattended by the State and the market. This paper aims to characterize and define their role in the context of housing and the regeneration of vulnerable neighborhoods. To do so, an analytical framework is proposed based on the capacity for the intermediation of these organizations and the type of social innovation they are focused on. Based on the analysis of two groups: foundations and associations, and community-led functional and territorial organizations, the role of these organizations in vulnerable territories are discussed, and four ways of developing social innovation are described. The article concludes highlighting the present contribution of these organizations from within their concurrent role as implementers and catalysts, with a predominant role in the dimension of processes and empowerment. En Chile, un número creciente de organizaciones de la sociedad civil (OSC) se han posicionado como agentes de transformación política y social al participar en la implementación de proyectos relacionados con el entorno construido. Estas organizaciones están motivadas por objetivos sociales y se presentan como una alternativa a los grupos desatendidos por el Estado y por el mercado. Este artículo tiene por objetivo caracterizar y definir su rol en el contexto de la vivienda y la regeneración de barrios vulnerables o desfavorecidos. Para esto, se propone un marco analítico basado en la capacidad de intermediación de estas organizaciones y el tipo de innovación social a la que apuntan. A partir del análisis de dos grupos: fundaciones y asociaciones; y organizaciones comunitarias funcionales y territoriales, se discute el papel de estas organizaciones en territorios vulnerables y se describen cuatro formas de desarrollar innovación social. Se concluye valorizando la actual contribución de estas organizaciones desde su rol simultáneo de implementadores y catalizadores, con un rol predominante en la dimensión de procesos y empoderamiento.
