Ten business days and priority for protected groups

The deadline for submitting applications is ten business days starting from the day following the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of León. Requests may be registered at the municipal electronic office (https://aytoalmanza.sedelectronica.es), at the General Registry of the City Council, or through any of the channels specified in article 16.4 of Law 39/2015, of October 1.

Regarding the allocation, preference will be given to applicants belonging to the special protection groups under article 5.1 of Law 9/2010, of August 30, on the right to housing of Castilla y León. Within each group, priority will be given to the highest number of members of the household unit and, in the event of a tie, the following criteria will be applied successively: the highest number of minors, the highest number of people with a disability equal to or greater than 33% or with recognized dependency, membership in more protected groups, the lowest income per member, and, as a last resort, a public draw. A reserve list with a two-year validity period will be formed with the admitted non-allottees.

The provisional and final lists, the eventual call for the draw, and the remaining acts will be published on the notice board of the electronic office, a publication that will serve as notification in accordance with article 45.1.b) of Law 39/2015.

The call bears the signature of the mayor, Javier Santiago Vélez, and is dated in Almanza on November 10, 2026. With this, the municipality activates its own real estate assets to provide housing responses to households with moderate incomes, a segment that falls outside both free-market housing and the most welfare-based aid systems.
