By allocating 25 social apartments utilising a creative, more flexible, and easily accessible management system, the Alicante Housing Board has demonstrated its dedication to housing access. These reasonably priced rentals, which are a component of the youth, intergenerational, and general emancipation programs, are already helping 43 people.
What is the operation of the new system?
Access to these residences has been streamlined since September 2024; all applicants must do to qualify for a flat is provide a responsible declaration. This modification has made it possible for the pool to stay open indefinitely, ensuring increased efficiency and transparency in the distribution process.
Beneficiaries include a variety of demographics, including young people who want to be independent, elderly people who live alone, and intergenerational cohabitation, which is a system where two 24-year-olds live with elderly people. This strategy can also help families in precarious situations, where the average applicant is 48 years old and the family size ranges from three to five.
These residences range in price from 120 to 299 euros, including community fees, and have an average surface size of 50 m².
There will soon be more social homes available.
Carlos de Juan, the Housing Councillor, underlines that this is just the start: the proposal for 6,000 new homes in Alicante includes the construction of 2,000 protected homes. Furthermore, new construction is already under way, including the repair of 14 homes in San Gabriel, the construction of 32 new apartments in San Blas, and the construction of 15 residences in the Old Town.
Those who need homes the most can now find them thanks to the 463 inexpensive rental units and 746 social rental units already available.
