SUBSIDIZED RENOVATIONS IN BARCELONA

For housing (Subsidized reforms in Barcelona)

The Generalitat de Catalunya and the Barcelona City Council, through the Barcelona Housing Consortium, annually grant non-repayable subsidies, in the order in which they are received, of up to €20,000 for the subsidised renovation of a home located in the city of Barcelona that is to be included in the Barcelona City Council's affordable housing stock, for a period of 5 years.

In addition to this subsidy, it also grants €1,500 in aid upon signing the rental contract with the future tenant and tax benefits with the IBI.

Another aid that is currently being granted is the subsidy for “Arranjaments” in homes of vulnerable people, with a grant of up to €9,000 as a non-refundable amount, to improve energy efficiency by changing windows and improving mobility and accessibility within the home to all rooms, especially bathrooms and the kitchen, in order to achieve decent housing and have a better quality of life.

The EU's Next Generation funds will also be managed through the Administrations in the form of direct aid for energy rehabilitation or by facilitating access to loans for communities of owners.
