Spain Opens Consultation on €7 Billion 2026–2030 Housing Plan

Access to funding hinges on a 60/40 co‑financing rule alongside a lifetime safeguard that keeps state‑funded housing permanently protected.

Overview

  • The draft Plan Estatal de Vivienda allocates 40% (€2,800 million) to protected housing, 30% (€2,100 million) to rehabilitation and 30% (€2,100 million) to demand-side aid.
  • Public consultation began on 17 September, with the government targeting Council of Ministers approval in the second half of December.
  • Regions must adapt their laws to maintain publicly funded homes in the protected stock permanently or they will not receive state transfers.
  • Only five communities have welcomed the proposal so far—Catalunya, Euskadi, Navarra, Canarias and Asturias—while others voiced concern over limited prior negotiation, including the Xunta.
  • Madrid announced a separate plan to boost supply by up to 15,000 homes through urbanism changes and will extend Mi Primera Vivienda guarantees to age 50 and to new-builds with coverage of 100% (under 40), 95% (40–45) and 90% (45–50).
