Relevance for the rural environment

The measure seeks to stabilize the population in rural areas by providing decent housing to the smallest municipalities in the province, many of which are at risk of depopulation. The rehabilitation of municipal housing for social purposes allows town councils to offer accommodation to new residents and contribute to the territorial cohesion of Teruel.
