Briefings

The Portuguese government issued a list of 477 unused public properties to municipalities by November 2026, allowing them to manage these assets for housing, cultural services, or health facilities. This initiative follows a larger inventory of 60,000 properties completed six months early, with a total of 80,000 properties identified across 64 municipalities since 2024. The transfer of management rights is a priority under the executive led by Luís Montenegro, with an initial investment of 80 million euros already made.
