The Rabasa neighborhood association has filed a complaint with the Síndic de Greuges (Ombudsman) due to the lack of response from the Ministry of Housing regarding the allocation criteria for protected housing under the Plan Vive in the neighborhood.

Residents of Rabasa have followed through on their warning and approached the Síndic de Greuges to demand transparency guarantees in the allocation of protected housing from the Plan Vive. The Sagrada Familia Neighborhood Association submitted a letter to the Valencian Housing and Land Entity (EVHA) on February 4, but regrets that three months later, it has not received a formal response from the Ministry of Housing.
This complaint comes amidst a crisis of confidence due to the Les Naus case, a scandal related to protected housing allocations in Alicante. The neighborhood association does not allege irregularities in Rabasa, but it does demand that the process begins with public criteria, administrative control, and sufficient guarantees to avoid any hint of discretion. Their request focuses on ensuring that housing is not allocated without clear rules or with excessive involvement from developer companies.

"The lack of response from Housing increases uncertainty about promotions that we consider especially sensitive given the context opened after Les Naus."

The neighborhood's concern centers on how the beneficiaries of the protected housing planned for Rabasa will be selected. The association notes that there are both rental and for-sale promotions and demands that access criteria, selection procedures, and supervision mechanisms be known in advance. Their proposal is that, if demand exceeds available housing, allocation should be carried out through a public lottery before a notary.
The group also requests that applicant lists and access criteria be public, always respecting data protection regulations. The entity believes that such transparency is essential to reinforce confidence in a system questioned by the Les Naus case, where public debate has focused on access controls and administrative supervision of protected housing.
Sources from the Ministry of Housing recently indicated that the allocation criteria for these EVHA promotions had not yet been decided. The department has defended its commitment to strengthening transparency in protected housing after the Les Naus case, and the Rabasa association now asks that this commitment be materialized in their neighborhood with a formal response and a controlled allocation system.
