Municipal housing policy developments in Iberia

Overview

Local governments in Portugal and Spain are implementing strategic housing plans to address affordability and urban rehabilitation.

In Vendas Novas, the Municipal Council approved a ten year Municipal Housing Charter. This strategy aims to increase housing supply and address rising sale prices, vacant properties, and the need for home repairs. The plan is divided into two phases, covering 2026 to 2029 and 2030 to 2036, with specific focus on controlled cost housing, affordable rentals, and municipal developments in areas such as São Domingos Sávio and Foro Perdido.

In Villaviciosa, the City Council is developing its first Municipal Housing Plan through a public participation phase. The council has received over 170 requests, including 160 for housing and 11 for rehabilitation projects. The initiative seeks to leverage funding from the State Housing Plan 2026 to 2030 to analyze residential needs, review municipal land, and potentially acquire private property for public housing.
