Subsidy for the allocation of private market housing to families in housing need
The Barcelona Housing Consortium has launched a call for proposals for grants to be awarded to private sector housing organisations for the accommodation of people in a situation of economic and social hardship and at risk of housing exclusion.
These grants replace the old agreements with the organisations and their aim is to give an impetus and increase the number of social housing in the city to offer a solution to citizens who do not have access to decent housing or who are at risk of losing it.
