Spain’s Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda has completed the transfer of €800 million to the country’s autonomous communities, launching the first annual instalment of the State Housing Plan 2026–2030.
The programme will mobilise €7 billion over five years, with the State contributing €4.2 billion, or 60% of the total, and the autonomous communities providing the remaining €2.8 billion. After the initial €800 million, the Government plans to allocate a further €850 million annually from 2027 to 2030.
The funds will support the development and acquisition of public, protected and affordable housing, particularly for rental, through projects on public and private land, property acquisitions and public-private partnerships. Around 40% of the plan’s resources will be allocated to increasing this housing supply.
Funding will also target the refurbishment of existing homes and buildings, with a focus on energy efficiency, accessibility, safety and habitability. Measures include bringing vacant properties into social or affordable rental use, as well as the regeneration of deteriorated neighbourhoods in urban and rural areas.
The plan also provides rental assistance and measures for young people and vulnerable households, including incentives to purchase a first home in municipalities with up to 10,000 inhabitants, rent-to-buy schemes for protected housing and safeguards against potential rental payment defaults.
The transfer follows the Government’s approval of the regional distribution of funds in June and the submission of the required documentation in July. The Ministry has also opened a public consultation on the framework for monitoring and evaluating the plan, including a common data-sharing system to track implementation through quarterly and annual reports.
