Overview

• President Salvador Illa outlined a public‑private program to add roughly 210,000–214,124 homes, requiring 40%–50% of each promotion to be permanently protected.
• Officials aim to move the protected stock toward 15% of the housing park from about 3.7% today by mandating the protected quota across new developments.
• An inventory identifies 21,728 homes pending urbanization works, 32,396 in management, and 118,562 that could rise to 160,000 with higher density, with about 54,124 on land expected to be ready by 2027 and most remaining units envisaged for 2028–2030.
• Illa cited a pending law to speed planning and permitting and acknowledged the absence of a comprehensive financing package or full timetable, while seeking support to pass the 2026 budget.
• From the prior 50,000‑unit pledge, about 31,000 are in the pipeline in varying stages, and Illa also announced a small program to host Palestinians and reported a 4.18% drop in overall crime alongside a 7.6% rise in sexual assaults.
