The regional government approved the measures for mortgage relief and a housing aid package aimed at young people and vulnerable residents of the Community of Valencia. Details from the finance ministry outline how the program will be implemented, with the intention of supporting households facing mortgage burdens tied to their primary residence. Early projections estimate a starting budget that could rise depending on demand, with money earmarked to stabilize monthly payments and prevent displacement. The program covers mortgage subsidies and a two-step approach depending on household income relative to the family unit’s gross earnings and the portion of income consumed by the mortgage. Citizens who meet the specified residence criteria and income thresholds are eligible, and the impact will be judged by the number of qualified applicants and the eventual distribution of funds.

Assistance can offset mortgage payments made in the 12 months prior to filing, with two aid tranches linked to gross income levels and the mortgage burden as a share of net income. A first tranche offers a larger amount to households with lower incomes, while a second tranche supports families with higher burdens. The aim is to ensure that the financial strain from home loans does not exceed a manageable proportion of annual earnings. Eligibility hinges on residency in the Community of Valencia and proof of income thresholds, with a cap on the nominal loan amount that can be subsidized under the program. Changes to related tax and housing legislation are noted to align with broader fiscal and equal-right policies affecting households.

The plan defines the family unit as the debtor, the spouse or common-law partner, and dependents who are legally eligible for the benefits. It also calls for updates to tax and housing-related laws to reflect living arrangements up to a second degree of relation, ensuring fair access across households sharing a residence. The measure will consider the most recent official data available at the end of the year to determine cohabitation conditions, and applicants will be required to submit a comprehensive statement detailing their household composition.

Young Hiring Bonus

Against the backdrop of rising inflation and housing costs, the decree contemplates expanding the State Housing Scheme’s Youth Bonus by linking it to the Youth Rental Premium. A dedicated fund from the Generalitat will provide additional support aimed at widening access for young renters. The package makes room for a substantial number of beneficiaries, offering monthly grants intended to reduce the upfront and ongoing costs of securing a rental home. This approach is designed to help young people achieve personal independence by stabilizing housing costs over a multi‑year horizon and encouraging longer tenancies.
