The call for rent for young people who have been approved this Friday has a budget of 1.6 million euros. The deadline to submit the requests of the program aimed at young people between 18 and 30 years will open in the coming days, once they are published in the Bulletin of the Province of Saragossa. This has been announced by the mayor of Zaragoza, Natalia Chueca, during a visit to the construction works of a building of 112 affordable rental housing on Vicente Cazcarra street, in the Las Fuentes neighborhood. It is a public-private collaboration project that is carried out with the construction company Bial and that counts European funds.
The objective of the aid is to deal with the “emancipation problems that exist among young people and that can have access to housing,” said Natalia Chueca. That is why in five years – expresses – the call has gone from 350,000 euros in 2020 to 1.6 million euros this year. It has also mentioned the importance of affordable housing to stop “the lack of housing, one of the greatest problems in all Spain”
The facade that gives to the walk of Vicente Cazcarra will have seven lowest plants
Currently, in Zaragoza there are 2,290 public homes building or in process, a figure that in 2027 will reach 2,500, and that almost arrives at all neighborhoods such as Actur, Valdespartera, Miralbueno, Rosales del Canal, Picarral, La Jota, El Rabal, Las Fuentes, Oliver, Torrero, Historic Casco, San José and Valdefierro. Most of these buildings are part of the plan+housing that the City Council promotes with the government of Aragon, and others are being built with European funds.
To the construction of affordable housing, the call for rental aid that every year launches the Youth Service of the City Council is added, aimed at young registered in the city that have a rental contract, both individually and shared.
Economic amounts increase
In 2024, 570 young people enjoyed this aid that is made in a unique payment. Most of the aid have been for young people who share housing (393), while the rest (177) have been for individual housing. Of the total beneficiaries, 378 are girls and 192 boys.
Like last year, two economic amounts have been set based on income, with the difference that the amount has increased this year. For young people whose annual income is between 8,400 euros, that is, once the IPREM, and 16,800 euros (twice the IPREM), an aid of 3,300 euros has been set compared to 3,000 last year.
On the other hand, for those who have income between 16,800 euros (twice the IPREM) and 25,200 (3 times the IPREM), the aid is 2,200 euros compared to 2,000 last year. In response to market prices, the requirements of the limit rental to be able to receive help, from 650 euros to 950 euros, have been increased. In the case of shared homes, the limit of individual contribution is 475 euros.
Once approved by government, the aid will be published on the municipal website, from where the application may be submitted. The deadline will be two months from the day following the publication of the call in the Official Gazette of the province of Zaragoza.
A total of 112 homes in the sources
The 112 homes that Brial now lifts in the sources will have a surface that ranges between 45 and 90 useful square meters, will be energetically efficient, all of them with level A certificate, and almost two thirds of the total, will have the Passivehaus Plus certificate.
In addition, the majority will feature the “medium digital home” standard, that is, they will be dominated and will have electronic services that will increase security, environment control, energy efficiency, communications and leisure and entertainment. Each building will also have common facilities, services and spaces dedicated to enhancing well -being, leisure and social coexistence.
Accessible and adapted floors are included with special needs
It is a municipal plot with a maximum buildable of 9,526 square meters and the building will be built in the form of a “U”, with an inner courtyard of about 340 square meters with trees, tables, common areas, children’s playground and a pergola to provide shadow.
The facade that gives to the Paseo de Vicente Cazcarra will have seven lowest plants, while the sides that give to the streets of Pepa Cobos and Francisco Rodrigo are distributed in four heights on the bass. In addition, a semi -basement plant and a basement are included with 130 garage seats in total. There will also be community terraces with solarium areas, pergolas and barbecue areas.
The property will house 36 housing of 3 bedrooms and 77 m²; 24 units of 3 bedrooms and 69.7 m²; 15 universal accessibility floors with 3 bedrooms and 73 m²; 7 houses of a bedroom and 47 m²; 18 of 2 bedrooms and 58 m²; 8 units of 2 bedrooms and 66 m²; 2 universal accessibility floors with 3 bedrooms and 71.65 m² of surface; and 2 units of 4 bedrooms with open terrace and 90 m².
Likewise, they include accessible floors and adapted to people with special needs. The interior of the houses will be bright and with wide terraces and will have adequate spaces for work and flexible use. Trees will be included in the apple courtyard that, united to a vegetation of less entity, will contribute to creating a healthy and sustainable environment.
The incorporation of these strategies allows to meet the objectives of the recovery, transformation and resilience plan and the Next Generation recovery instrument in its program for the construction of protected housing in energetically efficient buildings.
Thus, in this public-private collaboration with the support of European funds, Brial contributes with this proposal to increase a protected housing park that attends to an economic and social reality of households, with special attention to the social problem of energy poverty, the reduction of energy consumption in buildings, the improvement of the health and well-being conditions of its future owners and other environmental advantages derived from the reduction of emissions of emissions of emissions CO2.
