Since October 26, seven families now have a home where they can live with dignity in the city of Barcelona. All of them have received the keys to their apartment in a ceremony, held in the morning, from the hands of the alderwoman for Housing and Rehabilitation of the Barcelona City Council, Lucía Martín, who also wanted to welcome them. The apartments in question correspond to the Emergency Board that is held monthly, and come from the Social Rental Fund that the Barcelona Housing Consortium allocates to people with economic difficulties and at risk of residential exclusion.
In this sense, all those families who are in a situation of vulnerability can go, by appointment, to the Barcelona Housing Office to ask for an assessment and a report on their particular case. From this point on, the Emergency Board will be in charge of evaluating and analyzing the files received from the Offices to allocate housing from the Social Rental Fund. All the adjudications can be consulted in this link.
These homes are intended for cohabitation units at risk of residential exclusion, such as being in the process of eviction due to rental debt, foreclosure, or surrender of the property as payment for a mortgage debt, in a situation of residential exclusion due to domestic violence, or the property in question there are minors, elderly people or those living in a situation of neglect, in precarious hygienic, sanitary and safety conditions.
If there are not enough apartments available to respond to the files positively assessed by the Board, housing will be allocated as they are incorporated into the Social Rental Fund until the Emergency Board is held the following month. You can consult the information and regulations of the Emergency Board by visiting the website of the Barcelona Housing Consortium.
