The Cabildo of Fuerteventura contributes 1.68 million for 176 public housing units

The Insular Council of Fuerteventura will contribute 1,683,600 euros to the Canarian Housing Institute (ICV) to co-finance the construction of four developments comprising 176 public housing units on the island, intended for social or affordable rental. The inter-administrative agreement was signed on October 28, 2026, and is published this Wednesday in the Official Gazette of the Canary Islands (BOC) number 225, by resolution of the secretary of the ICV, Huberto Suárez Hernández (reference boc-a-2026-225-3900, page 40819).

The publication is ordered in compliance with article 29.2 of Law 12/2014, of December 26, on transparency and access to public information, which requires the publication of regional Administration agreements in the BOC within twenty days following their signature. The agreement was signed in Puerto del Rosario on October 28, 2026, by the president of the Insular Council of Fuerteventura, Dolores Alicia García Martínez, authorized by the agreement of the Insular Government Council of September 29, 2026, and by the counselor for Public Works, Housing and Mobility of the Government of the Canary Islands and president of the ICV, Juan Pablo Rodríguez Valido.

This is a direct subsidy of a singular nature, supported by article 22.2.c) of the General Subsidies Law 38/2003, of November 17, and channeled through an agreement pursuant to article 28.1 of the same regulation. The text justifies the absence of a public call on the grounds that indeterminate beneficiaries are not being selected, but rather a previously identified action is being partially financed, the execution of which corresponds to the ICV as the promoter. The agreement is further supported by article 5 of the Canarian Housing Law 2/2003, of January 30, which assigns the promotion of protected housing to the insular councils and the possibility of assuming the execution of the insular housing plan subject to an agreement with the Institute.

Four developments and 176 homes

The actions are part of program 6 of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), financed with “Next Generation EU” funds through Royal Decree 853/2021, of October 5, for aid in the construction of social rental housing in energy-efficient buildings. The four developments, all on plots owned by the ICV, are:

• 77 Viviendas La Oliva, in the municipality of La Oliva (Corralejo), with an estimated budget of 11,112,868.74 euros and works started on October 13, 2025.
• 24 Viviendas Rosa Vila, in Puerto del Rosario, with 5,553,890.07 euros and start date scheduled for December 2026.
• 28 Viviendas Bernegal, in Puerto del Rosario (El Matorral), with 5,545,172.98 euros and tendering still pending.
• 47 Viviendas Don Quijote, in Puerto del Rosario, with 7,110,230.36 euros and works started on February 1, 2026.

Together, they total 29,322,162.15 euros in budget, including Canarian VAT and professional fees. The properties will be allocated for social or affordable rental and will incorporate energy efficiency criteria, with declared useful areas between 1,704.99 and 6,685.01 square meters depending on the development.

Distribution of financing

The total amount is covered by three contributions:

• Canarian Housing Institute: 20,043,200.15 euros (68.36%).
• Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda, with PRTR funds: 7,595,362.00 euros (25.90%).
• Insular Council of Fuerteventura: 1,683,600.00 euros (5.74%).

The insular contribution is allocated to the budget application 2026 20210 1521A 7510026, named “Canarian Housing Institute (ICVI) Agreement,” and will be paid in full after the signing of the agreement, without the requirement of a guarantee. The PRTR funds come from the agreements reached in the Bilateral Monitoring Commission: Agreement No. 7, of July 7, 2022, for 489 homes across twelve plots, and Agreement No. 17, of June 6, 2024, for 184 homes, modified by addenda VIII and IV to incorporate the Council as an additional source of financing.

Deadlines and execution control

The deadline for the completion of the actions is set at 48 months from the signing of the agreement, extendable by a reasoned agreement of the Monitoring Commission, and the justification must be presented within six months following the final acceptance of the last work. The agreement is valid for four years, extendable up to a maximum of eight.

Monitoring is the responsibility of a joint commission chaired by the Management of the ICV, with representation from both institutions, which will issue minutes following the publication of tenders, the signing of the layout minutes, and the acceptance of works. Failure to meet deadlines or objectives may lead to the reimbursement of the subsidy, calculated using an economic module of 1,571.35 euros per square meter of useful area as a global reference.

The text also provides that the agreement be registered in the General Electronic Registry of Public Sector Agreements of the Canary Islands and included in the annual report to the General Commission of Insular Councils of the Parliament of the Canary Islands, in accordance with Article 117 of Law 3/2026, of June 16, on insular councils.

The operation comes in a context of sustained pressure on access to housing in the Archipelago and makes the Majorero Council a direct financier of the insular public housing stock, although its contribution represents barely 5.74% of the total cost. With the works in La Oliva and Don Quijote already underway and those in Rosa Vila and Bernegal pending start, the effective delivery schedule for the 176 homes will depend on the tendering of the remaining two developments.
