In late July 2026 the Asturias Ministry of Territory, Urbanism, Housing and Citizens' Rights defended its classification of the Gijón neighbourhoods of Cimavilla and La Arena as “tensioned housing markets” while moving ahead with the redevelopment of the former Central University Hospital site in Oviedo. The opposition People’s Party subsequently called for a six‑month plan, including an inventory of 632 vacant public homes and technical measures to return them to market. On 29 July 2026 the Instituto de Crédito Oficial announced (ICO) approved the launch of investment strategy for the Spain Crece affordable‑housing sovereign fund, activating a €12.15 €12.150 billion programme aimed at supporting construction, long‑term rental and tenancy financing. Later that day the ICO detailed the fund’s structure: housing instrument in September. The fund is split evenly between a €6.150 billion is allocated to the promotion stage phase and a €6.000 billion to the tenancy stage, with phase, and may provide a non‑repayable non‑reimbursable tranche covering of roughly 30 % of the each project's nominal value to lower construction costs. value. Loans may can extend up to 35 years for promoters who also act as long‑term investors, and the scheme investors. The programme is expected to mobilise up to €13.787 billion of public capital and attract about €23 billion of private investment, investment while meeting EU green‑labeling criteria. The national funding financing package could influence underpin Asturias‑level initiatives by providing financing for actions, such as the vacant‑home inventory and new long‑term rental projects, adding another layer to the ongoing political contention over how to address housing shortages, activate vacant public properties, and coordinate market‑intervention policies across the region. These developments sit within a broader Spanish trend of channeling surplus municipal budgets into housing‑related investments, as seen in towns such as La Canonja, and reflect growing attention to affordable‑housing solutions nationwide.
