The creation of one was announced during the Federal Congress of the Socialist Party this weekend new empresa publica de vivienda as part of government policy Facing the housing crisis in Spain. Sin embargo, Vice President Yolanda Diaz expressed doubts about the effectiveness of the proposal in the short term.

A pesar de que Currently, there are about 150 public housing companies It is recognized that the existing system at the regional and municipal level has failed to curb speculation and high demand.

Reference models

The reference model that many point to is that of Vienna, where the City Council decided to build houses, keep them on the property and rent them out at regulated prices for more than a century. today There are 220,000 social housing units in Viennalo que representa un tercio de todas las viviendas en alquiler de la ciudad. Another third is owned by non-profit organizations that promote affordable rentals, while only 10% of rentals are free, which keeps prices down. In Vienna, the rent per square meter is about 10 euros, and in Madrid it is double.

And how to finance this model? Funding comes from a small percentage of social deductions, 0.5%, which is directed to the housing construction fund. This model has been proven to be effective and has been cited by various experts as an example to follow.

Another successful model was found in Los Países BajosIt introduces a delegation of high-income restrictions on social networks that control the rental price, allowing only 18% of rent. En HelsinkiBu Ayuntamiento es dueño del soil y ecde terrenos a promoters bajo condiciones strictas para que las viviendas sean accesible para los ciudadanos.
