Municipal housing policies

Barcelona City Council's basic goal is to ensure every city resident has a decent standard of living and it is launching initiatives to provide the most vulnerable with access to a dwelling.

Municipal policies are currently promoting social and affordable housing; the transfer of vacant flats to a rental housing pool; the renovation of properties, from an ecological point of view, in terms of energy efficiency, and the promotion of new forms of access to housing and its management, providing financial solutions to those unable to make their home’s mortgage payments and offering mediation and information as the main tools for ensuring all the players involved abide by the rules of the game.

If you would like to find out about access to public housing and receive advice on renting and purchasing, or lease models, such as for co-housing, you will find information on this Barcelona Housing.
