Salvador Illa's government continues to give momentum to one of the star measures of its term: loans for young people for the first purchase of an apartment or house to serve as their primary residence. Now they will also be able to be used to finance rehabilitation works and purchase homes that already have official protection (HPO) status, as reported by the regional minister and government spokesperson, Sílvia Paneque, in a press conference this Tuesday.

During the first year that loans for under-35s to buy their first home have been in operation, the Catalan government has distributed 91.4 million euros out of the 100 million euros annually it had planned to allocate to the measure, as the ARA has learned. The Catalan Institute of Finance (ICF), which manages the program, has emphasized that they have "responded to all eligible applications".
