The goal of the alliance is to create a thousand flats in the next few years, providing housing for around three thousand people. Time frames will be streamlined for the work to be executed faster and to meet affordable housing needs in the current context of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Of the 60% of rental flats, a third will be set aside for young people and 5% for people with intellectual disabilities. Homes with leases will includes cohousing initiatives for the elderly and for people with disabilities.

Promotion of protected rents and the cooperative sector

The alliance was signed with the most significant social and cooperative housing management organisations in this sector: the Associació de Gestors d’Habitatge Social (GHS), the Xarxa d’Economia Social i Solidària (XES), the Federació de Cooperatives d’Habitatge and the Coordinadora de Fundacions d’Habitatge Social.

• Technical and economic capacity to guarantee the execution of work.
• Protected rental prices and leaseholds.
