Sant Salvador de Guardiola opens the call for social housing for 2026

The City Council of Sant Salvador de Guardiola has opened the public call for the temporary award, under a use-assignment regime, of municipal social housing for the year 2026. The agreement was adopted by the Local Government Board in an ordinary session on November 4, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Barcelona on November 13, 2026, with the reference CVE 202610169733 (file 1513/2026). The deadline for submitting applications is from November 16 to December 15, 2026, both inclusive.

Who can access the housing

Persons and cohabitation units registered and residing in the municipality who meet the requirements of the municipal regulation and find themselves in any of these situations may access the service:

• Imminent loss of housing.
• Economic and/or social emergency.
• Women in situations of gender-based violence who cannot be assisted by the regional protocol regarding accommodation.
• Risk of residential exclusion.
• Socioeconomic vulnerability.

Situations of vulnerability or social exclusion and, under the terms of the applicable regulations, persons or family units with dependent minors will be considered priority. Residence, economic income, lack of alternative housing, and circumstances of social need must be specifically proven.

Two-year use assignment and minimum fee of 400 euros

The housing is a temporary resource linked to the residential reception service and is awarded under a use-assignment regime according to the municipal regulation and the corresponding social work plan. The maximum planned duration is two years, extendable for one more year if the requirements are maintained, and the award is subject to the availability of housing suitable for the needs of the applicants.

The awardees must pay a fee determined by the income of the cohabitation unit, with a reference limit of 30% of net monthly income. The amount includes the property tax and housing insurance, and a minimum fee of 400 euros is established. Utilities and the waste collection tax are the responsibility of the awardee.

Assessment: 40% economic, 40% social, and 20% need

The technical processing of the applications corresponds to the basic municipal social services, and the Assessment and Monitoring Commission, provided for in article 9 of the regulation, carries out the assessment and formulates the award proposal. The prioritization criteria of article 12 are weighted as follows:

• Economic situation: 40%.
• Social situation: 40%.
• Housing need: 20%.

The competent body to resolve is the Local Governing Board, by means of a reasoned resolution. The call for applications is governed by the Regulations for the allocation and management of social housing in Sant Salvador de Guardiola, initially approved by the Plenary on March 19, 2025, and made final without objections, published in the BOPB on May 22, 2025.

How and where to submit the application

A single application must be submitted per cohabitation unit, using the standardized form approved by the City Council and the supporting documentation of the requirements:

• In person, at the General Registry of the City Council, addressed to the Municipal Social Services.
• Electronically, via the municipal electronic office.

If the application does not include the necessary documentation, the basic social services will request the correction within a period of ten business days; once this period has elapsed without the documentation being provided, the interested person will be considered to have withdrawn the application with the corresponding prior resolution. The submission of the application does not in itself generate any right to allocation, and the full text of the call, the application form, and the service information can be consulted at the electronic office, on the electronic notice board, and on the municipal website. The call is not a monetary grant and is not processed through the National Grants Database.

The measure reaches families in the municipality who are in a situation of residential vulnerability and establishes for the first time a specific calendar and transparent scoring criteria to access the local public social housing stock.
