Ontinyent opens public information regarding the transfer of housing to ADIEM

The Ontinyent City Council has opened the public information period for the agreement on the free transfer of the use of municipally owned housing in favor of the ADIEM Foundation, an entity dedicated to the care of people with mental health problems. The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Valencia number 185, dated September 25, 2026, with the official reference 2026/11619. With this procedure, the council submits the agreement to public exhibition before its final resolution.

The announcement is included in section I of the gazette, within the block of municipal announcements, and the issuing body is the Ontinyent City Council itself. The operation affects only the use of the housing, which remains under municipal ownership, and is proposed without financial consideration for the beneficiary entity. The ADIEM Foundation carries out its activity in the field of mental health, so the transfer is aimed at providing accommodation for care programs for this group.

What the agreement submitted for public information includes

• Issuing body: Ontinyent City Council.
• Object: free transfer of the use of council-owned housing.
• Beneficiary entity: ADIEM Foundation.
• Nature: transfer of use, without transfer of ownership.
• Official reference: 2026/11619.
• Publication: Official Gazette of the Province of Valencia number 185, of September 25, 2026.

A public exhibition procedure prior to resolution

The start of the public information period opens the phase in which the file is available to interested parties, who may consult it and present any allegations they deem appropriate before the agreement is definitively resolved. This is a standard step in the transfer of municipal assets, as it guarantees the transparency of the procedure and allows observations to be incorporated into the file.

The published text does not specify the number of affected dwellings nor the planned duration of the transfer, details that must be specified in the resolution of the file. What is established is the free nature of the transfer and its limitation to use, so that the ownership of the properties remains in the hands of the city council.

Background: other municipal transfers in Ontinyent

This is not the first operation of this type that the municipality has submitted for public information in recent weeks. On September 16, 2026, the Official Gazette of the Province of Valencia number 178 published another announcement from the Ontinyent City Council regarding the start of the public information period for a free transfer of the use of municipal real estate in favor of the “Inclou-Tea” association, with reference 2026/11233.

Both procedures follow the same scheme: making municipal-owned properties available to social entities through a transfer of use, at no cost to the beneficiary entity, and with the file open for public consultation before its final approval.

The transfer of municipal housing to the Fundación ADIEM strengthens the residential resources available for people with mental health problems in Ontinyent and, at the same time, subjects the operation to public scrutiny during the open information period. For residents, the announcement serves as official confirmation that municipal assets are allocated for social purposes and that any interested party may examine the file and file objections before the agreement becomes final.
