Andalusia Enacts Housing Law With 20,000-Home Target

The statute establishes a distinct regional model that pairs production goals with new governance tools to accelerate protected housing.

Overview

  • The law took effect on 24 January with the Junta activating a housing portal, an Andalusian Housing Council, a public–private collaboration commission and a coordination body on evictions and illegal occupation.
  • The regional government reports 2,280 protected homes promoted in the last six months, sets a five-year target of 20,000 and forecasts roughly 1,300 rental keys handed over by June.
  • An expanded land bank first outlined in September will extend beyond the largest cities, with initial parcels able to accommodate more than 40,000 protected homes.
  • The framework prioritizes rehabilitation and efficiency upgrades for an aging housing stock, including a Technical Commission for Housing Quality and a unified inventory of public units.
  • The measure replaces four prior regional housing laws and is framed as an alternative to Spain’s national approach, with anti-occupation provisions informed by Idealista data citing 5,003 occupied homes for sale in Andalusian provinces.
