Association proposes to the Presidency of the Republic a model to launch affordable housing competitions in the 1st quarter of 2027

The Housing and Development Association of Portugal proposed a model to the Presidency for launching accessible housing competitions in early 2027. This initiative aims to address the housing crisis by coordinating municipal competitions and establishing a National Sovereign Fund for Accessible Housing Investment. The model involves municipalities providing public land, private developers constructing buildings, and municipalities subletting homes to families at affordable rates. The association emphasizes that existing legal frameworks can support this initiative without new legislation. They also suggest a national meeting to discuss the proposal with municipalities and investors, highlighting the urgency due to rising housing prices in Portugal.
