Spanish housing company adds 442 affordable rentals across six regions

The public housing company CASA 47 added 442 new affordable rental homes to its online portal across six autonomous communities in Spain.

These properties join 807 units from previous calls, bringing the total available through the agency to 1,249. The Spanish government created CASA 47 to manage public housing and help residents find affordable places to live during a period of housing difficulty. Applicants can submit their candidacy by completing an online form until 26 November.

The portal provides details for each home, including photographs, location, monthly rent, and the maximum annual income allowed for a basic living unit. Residents can sign contracts lasting up to 75 years, which begin with a 14 year initial term and include automatic 7 year extensions if the tenants continue to meet the requirements. The new properties are spread across different regions including the Región de Murcia, Galicia, Comunidad Valenciana, Cataluña, Castilla-La Mancha, and the Principado de Asturias.

Prices vary by location, with monthly rents reaching as high as 1,210 euros in Cataluña and as low as 350 euros in several other regions. The agency plans to add another 1,000 homes to the platform before the end of the year. To qualify, at least one person in a household must have Spanish nationality or a legal residence permit.

Applicants must be adults or emancipated minors and cannot own a home unless that property is uninhabitable or has specific accessibility issues. The joint income of a household must fall between 2 and 7.5 times the IPREM, a Spanish public law index. All members must also be up to date with Social Security and tax agency payments.
