The Government strengthens its objective of building 50,000 public housing units by 2030 with the announcement of a new investment. This Tuesday, the Catalan executive has authorized the Institut Català del Sòl (Incasòl) to allocate an additional 251.8 million euros to the promotion of affordable public homes, a figure that comes from the treasury reserves of the 2025 fiscal year and can be used throughout 2026. "This measure should allow for an increase in Incasòl's contribution to address the housing market situation, as well as the need to expand public housing stock," specify the Government agreements published this Tuesday, which also indicate that the executive is working on "other avenues" to expand the current housing supply.

The future tenants of an affordable rental housing development in Sabadell have been waiting almost a year to move into their homes. The apartment building in the Can Llong neighborhood, developed by the Catalan Land Institute (Incasòl), has had to overcome unforeseen bureaucratic hurdles that have delayed the process, even though the residents had seen that construction was finished some time ago and the apartments had already been allocated. The development of 34 subsidized housing units on Ronda Europa is now "in the final phase of the administrative process for its handover," according to sources from the Department of Territory. Construction began in early 2022 and, as detailed by the department, was "at a very advanced stage by the end of 2024 and practically finished by the beginning of 2025." The allocation was made last spring among residents registered in the Sabadell Municipal Housing Registry (Vimusa), as has been reported by Sabadell DailyHowever, the works weren't completed until the fall.

The promise of Salvador Isla of having built 50,000 homes in Catalonia by 2030, along with the reinstatement of the tripartite Barris Plan, raises expectations and questions. Obviously, he will have to serve another term as president to achieve this. Housing policies are not improvised and require at least a decade.
