Relevance of the call

The Youth Rental Bonus (Bono Alquiler Joven) is framed within Royal Decree 42/2022, of January 18, which regulates this line of aid and the State Plan for Access to Housing 2022-2025. The 2026 Valencian call represents the continuity of an existing program, the funding for which has been arranged for the 2026 financial year following the transfer of state funds in December 2025. With an amount of up to 6,000 euros over two years, the aid aims to provide a decisive boost to the emancipation of Valencian youth in a context of difficulty accessing the real estate market.
