Briefings

Coimbra's municipal council initiated a procedure to draft a new affordable rental program aimed at intermediate housing segments that do not qualify for state-supported rental but face housing access difficulties. The initiative, led by Council President Ana Abrunhosa, seeks to bridge the gap between state aid and the free market by offering municipal apartments with adjusted rents based on household income. The program allows families to apply if any member works in the city, with contracts lasting five years and renewable upon meeting conditions.
