Sources: 6. Developments: 2. In the Madrid region, local municipalities are addressing rising residential costs and seeking increased public housing resources. In Torrejón de Ardoz, the Más Madrid group proposed a motion to establish a public social housing park, citing a 12.8% increase in housing prices and a 13.4% rise in rental prices per square meter over the last year. The group criticized the dissolution of the Municipal Housing and Land Company (EMVS), arguing that current policies favor private developers over public protections. Concurrently, Alcorcón officials have requested that the Community of Madrid finalize its adherence to the State Housing Plan to unlock funding for residential projects. The municipality is seeking access to resources to develop approximately 800 rental units. Additionally, local representatives have raised concerns that the failure to designate Alcorcón as a ‘stressed residential market zone’ may prevent the city from accessing 2.7 million euros in federal funds intended for high-pressure housing areas. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-26: Alcorcón officials request housing funds from Madrid region Alcorcón officials are calling on the Community of Madrid to sign the State Housing Plan to unlock over 1 billion euros in regional funds and secure additional federal resources for affordable housing. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/alcorcn-officials-request-housing-funds-from-madrid-region ### 2026-10-25: Más Madrid proposes social housing park in Torrejón de Ardoz Más Madrid has proposed creating a public social housing park in Torrejón de Ardoz to combat rising rents and housing costs. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ms-madrid-proposes-social-housing-park-in-torrejn-de-ardoz --- Cite as: Housing policy and affordability in Madrid region.
