In the early months of the year 2027, the City Council will open a public call for all interested persons to register and participate in the process. The system will be through the constitution of a cooperative, with sale prices set by the Xunta. A new line of aid has now come into effect, according to which the State will grant 0% interest loans for the down payment, the main impediment for many people to acquire these homes.
The text states that city councils do not have the powers to intervene in the housing market, with the State being the entity with legal capacity for intervention, which also has some powers transferred to the autonomous communities. The current severe crisis in Spain is caused by multiple factors such as the lack of regulation, norms, and laws that benefit speculation, the scarce construction of public housing, the proliferation of tourist apartments, or the strong increase in construction material prices in recent years due to international fluctuations caused by imperialist wars.
The solution, according to the statement, is not magical or immediate and lies with the Central Government and the Congress, and secondarily with the regional governments. Municipal responsibility is limited to planning and developing the territory, as there can be no housing without the land to build it. In Oleiros, this has been materialized through the approval of 3 general urban planning schemes, establishing a low-density residential model that has enabled the construction of free and protected housing, always prioritizing ordered growth and the creation of public spaces and infrastructure.
Since 1992, 1,286 protected flats have been built in Oleiros, including the 296 currently under construction or about to begin.
