The City Council grants the use of two municipal sites to Llar Unió Catalònia, the cooperative of the UGT trade union, for the construction of 150 protected homes in the districts of Sant Martí and Sants-Montjuïc.
One is located at C/ Llull, 77-81, in the district of Sant Martí, with 90 homes to be built there. The other is at C/ Cal Cisó, 32-38, in the district of Sants-Montjuïc, for a further 60 homes.
The cooperative Llar Unió Catalònia will be tasked with building the homes, on a site leased free of charge for 75 years, with the option of extending this period to 90 years.
The deal is part of a set of municipal policies within the framework of the Pla Viure to boost the number of affordable homes available in the city as much as possible.
The Pla Viure has three main goals: to universalise the right to housing by enlarging the city’s stock of affordable social housing; to drive the renovation and improvement of homes from the perspective of sustainability, accessibility and comfort, and to place special attention on vulnerability, demographic challenges and people’s life stages. During this term of office the keys to 3,000 protected homes are to to be handed over, with 5,000 flats under construction and land being generated for a further 10,000 flats to be built.
