The Government Council of the Canary Islands has authorized this Thursday, at the request of the Minister of Housing, Sebastián Franquis, the incorporation of a budget item of 22,943,700 euros for the execution of the new State Plan for access to housing 2022-25 in the archipelago.
This budget allocation is in addition to the 76,400.00 million allocated by the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda for the development of the Plan in the Autonomous Community, which, together with the contribution of the Ministry, would amount to almost 100 million euros with the aim of promoting actions in the field of public housing in the islands.
This budget will cover many of the programs included in the Housing Plan to facilitate access to housing for people with fewer resources, increase the supply of rental housing or increase housing solutions in the Canary Islands. All these objectives will be developed in various lines of aid distributed annually until 2025, after the formalization of the agreement through a collaboration agreement between the State and the Government of the Canary Islands.
Once the agreement with the Ministry is signed in the coming weeks, the Canary Islands will receive this year a first annuity of 18,285,000 euros from that Plan with which to finance several of the programs that are already underway, such as the payment of rental aid to vulnerable families or the Canary Islands Pro Hogar for households at risk of eviction.
Specifically, it contemplates 13 programs to be developed, among which the rental aid program, aid to young people to contribute to the demographic challenge, the promotion of housing for the elderly or the program to improve accessibility in homes stand out.
