Organisations get the use of municipal land to expand the housing stock
Collaboration with organisations is being stepped up to increase the housing stock through leaseholds on municipal plots of land and buildings for renovation. Construction work starts on 373 flats next year, including the first co-housing blocks for the elderly and people with intellectual disabilities, plus the first rental cooperative.
Collaboration with non-profit organisations, foundations and cooperatives in the sphere of housing is aimed at creating another thousand flats on municipal land in the next few years.
A first stage will see the execution of:
- Seven co-housing developments with 144 flats.
- Five developments with flats to rent, with 229 homes.
Collaboration to multiply affordable housing
Organisations will get leaseholds of 99 years. Once the building costs have been paid off, they will have to pay the established fee and devote 50% of the income generated to new housing projects promoted by organisations on municipal land or buildings to be renovated.
What is co-housing?
Co-housing is the association of people in a cooperative which builds or renovates a building where they can live paying a membership quota at below-market rates, for between 50 and 100 years. The system also promotes community living and management.
The City Council stimulates the promotion of co-housing projects through leaseholds on land and by offering conditions for projects to get off the ground.
