The Andalusian Government Promotes Affordable Housing in Málaga

The town of Málaga was the venue for the IV International Meeting on Protected Housing, where the Minister of Housing, Youth and Land Planning, Rocío Díaz, underscored the need to increase the construction of affordable housing in Andalusia. During her speech, Díaz emphasised the importance of public-private collaboration to facilitate access to a home, especially for young people and families facing economic difficulties.

Collaboration and Budgets for Housing

Díaz urged an increase in residential supply in the community. She highlighted that collaboration between administrations and the private sector not only provides resources but also enables the development of new projects. In this regard, she valued the role of the Mediterranean Real Estate Fair (SIMED) as a key space for discussing and promoting solutions that expand housing supply.

Regarding the budgets for the year 2027, the minister mentioned an investment of nearly 1 billion euros, of which more than 588 million will be allocated to housing financing. Furthermore, she stressed that the new Andalusia Housing Plan 2026-2030 prioritises the development of affordable housing through various measures.

The Challenge of Málaga

The minister also addressed the situation in Málaga, indicating that the province presents significant challenges in the real estate sector. Being a place with high economic activity, there is a growing demand for housing that needs to be addressed. In particular, progress must be made in the construction of affordable housing.

The Andalusian Government is working to facilitate the availability of land, thanks to the Law for the Promotion of Territorial Sustainability in Andalusia (LISTA). This law facilitates collaboration between municipalities for the improvement of urban planning, as seen in the case of Marbella, which has approved its General Municipal Planning Plan, the first adapted to LISTA in Andalusia.
