The President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has presented an ambitious package of measures to address housing policy in the region, highlighting the construction of 3,100 new affordable rental homes.

During her speech at the State of the Region Debate, Ayuso detailed the creation of these new homes, a comprehensive plan for the rehabilitation of the existing residential stock, and the development of the first regional map of unused or vacant properties. These actions aim to strengthen regional housing policy.
Of the 3,100 homes announced, 2,500 will be incorporated into the Plan Vive Solución Joven, a public-private initiative focused on facilitating access to affordable housing for young people. The remaining 600 units will be promoted by the Social Housing Agency (AVS), prioritizing groups facing greater difficulties. With these new additions, the Plan Vive in the region will reach a total of 16,500 homes.
Within the expansion of the Plan Vive, a specific housing reserve will be established for members of the State Security Forces and Corps, aiming to encourage their continued presence in the Community of Madrid. Concurrently, the Plan Vive Sanitario, aimed at healthcare personnel under 35 years old, has reserved 120 properties from a development of 1,000 new homes near the Infanta Sofía Hospital in San Sebastián de los Reyes.
The second major initiative, named Rehabilitar Madrid, will have an allocation of 450 million euros, partially funded by the State Housing Plan. This project will focus on modernizing the residential stock, especially older buildings, with the goal of improving energy efficiency, accessibility, conservation, and residents' quality of life.
Key actions within Rehabilitar Madrid include a regional program with an investment of 33 million euros to promote the installation of elevators and strengthen rehabilitation offices.
The Community of Madrid will also develop the first regional map of unused or vacant properties. This tool will allow for precise identification of these assets and guide public policies to accelerate their incorporation into the rental market. This initiative is complemented by the Urgent Housing Measures Law, which includes actions to mobilize land and streamline administrative procedures.
