Support programme for access to housing

 The investment should result in the provision of 26,000 housing units to households, which are either newly built, purchased or renovated with certified energy performance investments. It will be carried out throughout continental Portugal. The project aims to address the structural shortage of permanent housing for more vulnerable groups and is part of an overall government strategy to increase the public housing stock, relieving the challenge of housing affordability.

The local housing strategies of more than 200 municipalities were approved by February 2023 and construction works are under way across the country. The Recovery and Resilience Facility funds this investment with EUR 1.2 billion and the investment is expected to be finalised by the end of June 2026.
