The Government allocates 1,900 million to housing rehabilitation and rental

The goal is to multiply by ten the number of housing rehabilitation. Going from the 30,000 homes that are rehabilitated each year now to 300,000 in 2030. A decade to extrapolate the rate of regeneration of the housing stock in Spain. It is what is marked in the recovery plan and, to achieve it, this Tuesday the Government has taken a step by approving in the Council of Ministers 1,889 million allocated to the autonomous communities for residential rehabilitation and social housing, as La Vanguardia has advanced .

It is part of the calendar established in the European recovery plan, and is based on the distribution agreed at the Housing sector conference on June 29. Specifically, there are 1,389 million European funds to finance residential rehabilitation that will be transferred this year to the autonomous communities, to which are added 500 million more that the autonomies will receive in 2023 to offer social rental housing in energy efficient buildings.

This calendar is the one agreed between the Government and the European Commission, which establishes a progressive and flexible distribution to allow the execution of the funds, which corresponds to the autonomous communities. In this way, this year it will be possible to transfer 85% of the total funds destined to rehabilitate homes and in 2023, 100% of those that must allow the construction of up to 20,000 affordable rental homes.

Adding previous items, 3,540 million will have been mobilized from the recovery plan to regenerate residential environments and for the construction of social rental housing. A further 880 million in aid for housing renovation will still be pending authorization by 2023.
