The main point of contention, according to the FRAVM, lies in the increase of income limits for accessing protected housing. Under the Community of Madrid's proposal, a four-member family could earn up to 84,677.42 euros annually and still qualify for a Limited Price Public Protected Housing (VPPL).
It is inadmissible that public funds or protected land reserves are allocated to households with this income level, while families with limited resources are left unprotected.
In response, the federation proposes reducing access limits, suggesting they be set at 6 and 4 times the IPREM, instead of the current 7.5 and 5.5 times, respectively. This measure seeks to ensure that protected housing fulfills its original purpose of serving those most in need.
In addition to income thresholds, the FRAVM has expressed concern about the financial burdens that would fall on tenants. They consider it unacceptable that the new regulation allows the Property Tax (IBI) to be passed on to protected housing tenants, demanding that this tax be fully assumed by the property owner. They also request that the waste collection fee be subsidized or adjusted according to the real income of each family.
Another criticized aspect is the "expiration" of protection, which the current text generally sets at 15 years. The neighborhood organization demands that the protected housing classification be permanent and indefinite, to prevent public efforts from ultimately fueling the free market and real estate speculation. Finally, the FRAVM rejects the replacement of administrative control with "responsible declarations," warning that this measure weakens guarantees and facilitates the use of these homes as investment assets rather than primary residences.
