The multi‑level push for affordable, energy‑efficient homes in Spain has expanded through new construction, land transfers, and vacancy management. In Bétera, the transfer of a municipal plot to the Valencian Housing and Land Agency will facilitate 21 protected homes under the Plan VIVE. In Málaga, the city council has approved urbanisation procedures for the Vega de Campanillas area, which aims to deliver 4,140 protected dwellings within a larger 7,339-unit eco‑neighbourhood design. In the Balearic Islands, the Consell de Mallorca is proceeding with the delivery of 323 Habitatges de Protecció Oficial (HPO) near Palma’s Velodrome, utilizing a 33,000 m² land grant. This project requires applicants to have at least 15 years of legal residency in the islands. Regional authorities are also targeting housing availability through rehabilitation and vacancy controls. Catalonia’s Baix Empordà region has launched the GiDomus energy‑retrofit project to provide guidance for multi‑unit building renovations, while Segarra has established a Housing Bank to match approximately 400 vacant homes with seekers. In Navarra, authorities are using data analysis to identify uninhabited properties owned by legal entities to enforce vacant‑home taxes. Similarly, Ronda has implemented a public‑housing demand register to organise applications. In Andalusia, the regional government has established a specialized housing ~~ministry.~~ ministry, led by Rocío Díaz, to address the regional housing crisis. The Andalusian Housing and Renovation Agency (AVRA) has approved land auctions in El Molinillo and Victoria for 232 social housing ~~flats, while addressing long-standing delays in Málaga’s~~ flats. In Málaga, the Junta is focusing on several pending projects on government-owned land, where approximately 300 social housing ~~projects.~~ units have been awaiting construction for many years. At the national level, Spain's Ministry of Housing is moving to intervene in the management of Sareb, the ‘bad bank’ holding real estate assets.
