The Municipal Housing Fund (Patronato Municipal de la Vivienda) has approved the last necessary step, the Health and Safety Plan , to begin the refurbishment of 14 apartments in the San Gabriel neighbourhood , which will be rented to young people under 35. The project is being carried out by Aitana Actividades de Construcción SL , with a total cost of €1,148,062.85 and a completion period of 10 months .

📌 The goal of the project is to expand affordable housing for young people

  • Energy efficient modernization;
  • Improving accessibility (including installation of a lift);
  • Connection of telecommunication infrastructure;
  • Improving the quality of the urban environment and facades;
  • Redevelopment of premises: 14 one-room apartments (4 more than now) + common room.

One of the apartments on the ground floor will be fully adapted for people with limited mobility.

💶 Financing and sustainability

The city has applied for funding from the Next Generation EU fund under the Recovery and Resilience Plan , as the project will reduce non-renewable energy consumption by 80% through the modernisation of the building envelope and engineering systems.

🏛️ Updating the Housing Fund Charter

A new version of the statute of the Patronato Municipal de la Vivienda has also been approved (for the first time since 1988), which brings the regulations into line with modern standards.
