Government Publishes Smaller Second Casa 47 Call Than Sánchez Promised

The reduced batch cuts the near‑term boost to public affordable rentals and points to a phased, multi‑call rollout with more incorporations expected.

Overview

  • A new Casa 47 convocatoria was published for the state portal with availability from Saturday, Nov. 7, and outlets disagree on its size — Faro de Vigo reports 442 homes while El Periódico places the batch below 750.
  • The announced batch is well below the roughly 1,500 additional homes President Pedro Sánchez pledged in September, slowing the immediate expansion of the public rental stock.
  • The homes in this round come from former Sareb/Sepes assets and are concentrated in six autonomous communities, with no units listed for Madrid, Andalucía or the Basque Country.
  • Casa 47 sets rents by household income so payments do not exceed about 30% of income, offers initial 14‑year leases extendable up to 75 years, and uses income bands tied to the IPREM plus notary-run lotteries for allocation.
  • The Ministry says a third convocatoria of about 1,000 units is planned before year‑end and officials have identified a perimeter of up to ~40,000 homes for gradual incorporation through at least 2030, a timetable that will shape who gets access and when.
