Málaga Opens Call for Selection of 377 Protected Housing Units

The Ayuntamiento de Málaga announced the opening of the application period for two selective processes aimed at awarding 377 protected housing units in the city. This measure is part of the municipality's housing policies and is available to all residents who meet the criteria established in the official call.

Understand the Call

Protected housing (known locally as Viviendas de Protección Oficial - VPO) are subsidized residential units with sale or rental prices limited by law, intended for people who meet specific income and housing situation requirements.

To participate in this call initiated on July 14, 2026, interested parties must strictly adhere to the criteria required by the municipal authority. The necessary admission requirements are verified based on the applicants' status on the closing date of the application period.

Basic Requirements for Participation

Although the notice details specific conditions for each type of housing, generally, aspirants need to prove:

Legal residence in Spain (for foreigners).
Not owning another property, with exceptions as provided by law.
Fitting within the income limits set for access to this type of housing.
Being registered in the Municipal Register of Applicants for Protected Housing of Málaga.

It is essential that applicants keep their registration in the Demandants' Registry updated, as this is the database used by the Ayuntamiento de Málaga to screen eligible profiles for each of the 377 available units.

How to Register

The selection process requires interested parties to submit the necessary documentation within the deadline set by the Boletín Oficial de la Junta de Andalucía (BOJA). It is recommended to read in detail the bases published on July 14, 2026, which detail the specific procedures for submitting applications.

The process management is handled by the Municipal Institute of Housing, which is responsible for administering and allocating protected housing units in the city.
