Spain’s government has officially launched “Casa 47,” a national online portal for affordable public and social housing. The system is described as a search engine that helps people find eligible public housing, with tenancy structured around long-term occupation.
The portal is presented as the first national public housing platform and is tied to income-linked rent, with contracts reportedly set for 14 years. Both outlets describe it as a tool to improve access to social housing by making the process easier to navigate. The Local focuses on what the portal is for and the long-term tenancy aspect, while Euronews adds details on how the portal works and the policy rationale.
Euronews also reports political context: Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez defends state involvement as a way to increase housing supply and secure access. Overall, the outlets agree on the portal’s purpose—centralizing public housing information—and on the key contractual feature of long-term tenure and income-based rent.
