Asturias grants 653 rental subsidies and pays 2.31 million euros

The Regional Ministry of Territorial Planning, Urbanism, Housing and Citizen Rights of the Principality of Asturias has resolved the 2025 call for housing rental aid with 653 favorable files out of the 1,097 evaluated. The resolution, dated October 29, 2026, and signed by the Director General of Housing in exercise of the delegation of powers approved by the Resolution of November 23, 2023, is published in the Official Gazette of the Principality of Asturias (BOPA) no. 220, of November 13, 2026, with the official reference Code 2026-09168. The committed amount totals 2,314,021.66 euros, charged to budget application 13.04.431A.785.003 of the 2026 regional accounts.

The call was approved by the Resolution of September 30, 2025 (BOPA no. 195, of October 9, 2025) and is governed by the regulatory bases established by the Resolution of February 2, 2023, of the Ministry of Social Rights and Welfare (BOPA no. 28, of February 10, 2023). The state framework is Royal Decree 42/2022, of January 18, which regulates the Youth Rental Bonus and the State Plan for Access to Housing 2022-2025. On September 29, 2025, the Government Council authorized a total expenditure of 14,722,367.01 euros for the three lines of aid, of which 10,943,000 euros come from state funding and 3,779,367.01 euros from regional funding.

Distribution by aid lines

Of the total of 1,097 evaluated applications, the resolution grants 653, denies 341, and considers 103 as withdrawn. The breakdown is as follows:

• Line 1 (people with limited economic means): 641 favorable, 318 denied, and 94 withdrawn.
• Line 2 (victims of gender-based violence, evicted persons, homeless persons, and others especially vulnerable): 12 favorable and 8 denied.
• Line 3 (tenants in a situation of supervening vulnerability): 15 denied and 9 withdrawn, with no grants.

The beneficiaries of lines 1 and 2 are identified in Annexes I and IV by their file number, with individual amounts that, in the reviewed cases, range between 340 euros and more than 5,145 euros.

A payment of 2.31 million and obligations for beneficiaries

The distribution of the approved expenditure is 2,238,569.36 euros for Line 1 and 75,452.30 euros for Line 2. The resolution recognizes the obligations in favor of the beneficiaries listed in Annexes I and IV and requires them to communicate any modification of the conditions that motivated the aid and that could determine the supervening loss of the right to the subsidy.

The authority to grant, deny, or revoke these subsidies is delegated to the Directorate General of Housing up to a limit of 18,000 euros per beneficiary, and its management corresponds to the Housing Aid Service.

Fewer monthly payments than planned

The call for applications provides for up to 21 subsidizable monthly payments, with periods that, in the published files, begin in January 2024 and close in September 2025. In several applications, the full number of months has not been recognized due to one of these circumstances, indicated with superscripts in the annexes:

• Lack of registration (empadronamiento) in the rented home during one or more months of the subsidizable period.
• Lack of justification for the payment of rent for any given month.
• Receipt of an incompatible aid.
• Existence of a lease agreement different from the one current in the application, with a rent higher than the maximum allowed by the call.

Second resolution of the same call

This resolution is added to the one issued on July 31, 2026 (BOPA no. 157, of August 14, 2026), which resolved 904 applications from the same call with 592 favorable files, 263 denied, and 49 withdrawn. An administrative appeal (recurso contencioso-administrativo) may be filed against the new act before the Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Asturias within two months, or an optional appeal for reversal (recurso potestativo de reposición) before the head of the Department within one month, provided they are not filed simultaneously.

The publication of the annexes allows applicants to know their status and the exact amount recognized, a decisive piece of data for thousands of low-income households facing monthly rent payments and who, in 444 cases, are left out of the subsidy due to denial or withdrawal.
