Buying property in Spain: Huge subsidised housing plan for Andalucia
Ever wondered how the Spanish take care of housing themselves, side by side with foreign property buyers?
Here’s a post from euroresidentes.com blog:Huge subsidised housing plan for Andalucia
Pact to guarantee the right to a home in Andalucia
The Andalucian regional government, business associations, trade unions, town councils and financial institutions have signed the biggest agreement on social housing in Spain’s history. The pact agrees to build and finance 700,000 flats over the next 10 years - 300,000 of which are destined to be subsidised social housing.
With this pact the Andalucian regional government is attempting to establish the basis for the application of a new law which Spain’s socialist government wants to introduce in the next parliament if they win the general election due to take place next March.
The new housing law would guarantee the right to a decent home for everybody with an income of less than 3200 euros a month. If the law is passed then it would be the first of its type in Spain and Analucian residents would be able to claim their right to a decent home in a court of law if they weren’t satisfied with provision made by the regional government.
The idea is that it would be something similar to the universal right to education and an article would be added to the Spanish constitution to guarantee this right.The Regional government, business associations and the trade unions UGT and CC OO have all endorsed the pact. Over the last 25 years 500,000 homes have been built in Andalucia which is 42% of the existing total.
