The Generalitat will be co-owner of homes and will contribute part of the down payment

He will contribute 100 million euros to this program and create a fund to combat cases like Maricarmen's. This is announced by Salvador Illa in the general policy debate in the Parliament.

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

Catalonia's government will launch an innovative plan to help people over 40 acquire a home, with the Generalitat contributing to the down payment. The plan, announced by President Salvador Illa, involves joint purchases with the government providing part of the entry fee. A €100 million fund will be set up for this initiative, and another fund will be created to tackle emergency housing situations, such as the recent eviction of 85-year-old Maricarmen in Madrid's Retiro neighborhood.

Illa stated that ensuring the right to housing is his top priority and that Catalonia rejects speculation, saying homes should be for living, not speculation.
