Canarias recibe 371 millones del nuevo plan de vivienda estatal
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda has given final approval this Thursday to the distribution criteria for the €7 billion State Housing Plan 2026-2030, of which €371 million will go to the Canary Islands. As was the case at the Sectoral Conference last May, the decision was unanimous. At the meeting with the autonomous communities and cities, chaired by the Secretary of State for Housing and Urban Agenda, David Lucas, he reiterated the important message being sent to the public: that different administrations, of different political colours, have reached an agreement on the main issue worrying citizens.
A record of unanimous agreements
With this new unanimous agreement, the government maintains its streak of securing approval for all the proposals put forward by Isabel Rodríguez to the autonomous communities without a single vote against. In total, this legislative term has already seen ten such agreements. “From the Government of Spain, we extend our hand to collaborate, work together, and achieve the objectives of this new State Housing Plan,” the Secretary of State stressed during the meeting. Accompanying the Secretary of State from the Ministry were the Under-Secretary of Housing and Urban Agenda, Pablo Torres; the Technical Secretary-General, Pablo Moreno; the Director-General for Housing and Land, Inés Sandoval; and the Director-General for Planning and Evaluation, Maribel Vergara. The new plan will mobilise an investment of €7 billion, of which €800 million corresponds to the 2026 financial year. The full breakdown of fund mobilisation can be consulted in the following table.
A national agreement on housing
The new State Housing Plan is a clear demonstration of the willingness for dialogue and consensus that the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda has always put on the table. This culminates the proposal that the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, put to the autonomous communities at the Conference of Presidents in Barcelona to reach a national agreement on housing. Proof of this model of consensus, dialogue, and agreement are the 28 meetings held with the autonomous communities regarding the content of the Plan, as well as the meetings with entities, social agents, and experts. As a result of these meetings, 365 contributions have been received, studied, and incorporated into the final wording of the Plan.
More construction, more renovation, more protection
The new State Housing Plan triples the funds that will be managed by the autonomous communities and establishes a model of co-responsibility whereby the Government of Spain contributes 60% and the autonomous communities the remaining 40%. Furthermore, at least 40% of these funds will be dedicated to the construction and acquisition of homes, 30% to the renovation of the existing housing stock, and the remaining 30% to guaranteeing the protection of the groups and territories that need it most.
In this regard, the State Housing Plan incorporates mechanisms to ensure the permanent protection of all homes built with its funds, while guaranteeing transparency in the allocation of protected housing through an anti-fraud clause. The Plan also includes measures aimed at promoting territorial cohesion and promotes a public data system to facilitate citizens’ access to truthful and transparent information.
