Briefings

Portugal 2030 received a significant increase in European housing funds, reaching 656 million euros, nearly ten times the initial allocation. This funding is primarily directed toward affordable and social housing, with 315 million euros for social housing and 256 million for accessible housing. Regional distribution shows the North receiving the largest share at 285 million euros, followed by the Center with 200 million euros. The Alentejo and Algarve each received approximately 60 million euros, while Lisbon received a smaller amount as it is not a convergence region. Currently, 13 social housing tenders are open, and new tenders for accessible housing are being prepared, totaling 423 million euros, which covers 65% of the available funds. Cláudia Joaquim, president of AD&C, expressed confidence that Portugal will meet the 'guillotine rule' and avoid returning funds to Brussels this year, while acknowledging that Central and Algarve regions require additional effort to meet execution targets.

Key points

• Portugal 2030 housing fund increased to 656 million euros, nearly ten times the initial allocation.
• Social housing receives 315 million euros while accessible housing receives 256 million euros.
