The Canary Islands regional government reports that over 4,000 protected housing units have been processed since the start of the current legislature. This includes 200 provisional qualification requests, which officials suggest indicates an increase in developer activity.

Minister of Public Works, Housing, and Mobility Pablo Rodríguez stated these figures indicate a “sector reactivation.” The government attributes this growth to reforms intended to reduce administrative hurdles, increase land availability, and facilitate both public and private construction. 

Ongoing regional strategies include updating the Canarian Basic Module to address rising construction costs and transitioning the housing allocation system from a lottery-based model to one based on social, economic, and family criteria via the Visor de Vivienda Canaria.
