The Municipal Housing Board of the Alicante City Council currently manages 539 affordable rental contracts, with 159 new agreements since its renewal in 2024, benefiting 228 people with average incomes of 1,797 euros.
The initiative, processed from the El Claustro offices, allows vacant homes to be put into use and offers a housing alternative at reasonable prices. The beneficiaries of these new contracts, with an average rent of 584 euros, represent 2.55% of the IPREM.
The program not only acts as a reliable intermediary between owners and tenants but also provides comprehensive legal advice, social support, rental aid management, mediation of rental conflicts, and support for the management of the municipal housing stock, all completely free of charge.
Thanks to the constant monitoring of the free rental market carried out by the Alicante Housing Observatory, the program maintains rents 46% below the market price, which is around 1,100 euros per month. This difference ensures real access to affordable housing in the city.
In the last two years, the program has provided 1,951 consultations, with a 221% increase in 2025 compared to the previous year, and 7,514 mediations. This activity consolidates its role as a preventive tool and support for housing access.
The program's presence on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, with 1,153 followers and an average rating of 5 stars from 75 reviews, demonstrates the satisfaction and trust generated among users.
