The Cabildo de La Palma is pursuing various social, infrastructure, and employment initiatives. To support local students attending university or vocational training on other islands, the Cabildo has begun steps to establish a student residence in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Tenerife. This project aims to provide affordable housing and mitigate high private rental costs, with potential future expansion to Gran Canaria.

Simultaneously, the island is implementing several public works and employment programs. Completed projects include security and accessibility improvements at the Mirador del Infinito in San Andrés y Sauces and the renovation of the former northern port entrance in Santa Cruz de La Palma to improve urban integration and the cruise passenger experience. Additionally, the Fuencaliente City Council is working with Fedepalma to integrate the ‘Trabajo La Palma’ platform to better connect residents with local job listings.
