Andalucía to prioritize protected housing based on residency

The regional government of Andalucía has accepted a policy proposed by Vox, which seeks to prioritize access to protected housing based on residency duration, or 'arraigo'. This approach favors those who have lived in the region longer.

The policy has drawn criticism for potentially overlooking the actual needs of families, such as disability, employment status, or financial stability, in favor of administrative seniority. Critics argue that this method may disadvantage long-term residents who work seasonally or face imminent eviction, even if they have established lives and families within the region.
