Casa 47 opens applications for 442 affordable rental homes from Saturday – 104 in Galicia

The state housing platform Casa 47 is publishing 442 new affordable rental offers in six regions of Spain on 7 November 2026. With 104 homes, Galicia accounts for the second-largest share.

From Saturday, 7 November 2026, the state housing platform Casa 47 will list 442 additional homes for rent at affordable rates, according to its own announcement. Of the new offers, 104 are in Galicia, making the autonomous community one of the most heavily represented regions in this round. Further allocations are in Murcia, the Comunitat Valenciana, Catalonia, Castilla-La Mancha and Asturias. Applications and details such as locations, property sizes and rents are to appear in the relevant listings on the portal.

Casa 47 says the move is part of the ongoing expansion of state-managed rental offers. The platform provides a central point of access to state-owned properties and homes that come from the portfolio of Sareb or are managed in collaboration with the company. According to the government, the portal is intended to make allocations more transparent and standardise procedures. The figures published in this round come from Casa 47’s latest online announcement, which also sets out the regional breakdown.

The legal framework for expanding public rental housing and measures to curb housing costs was clarified in Real Decreto-ley 29/2026 of 6 October 2026. The government explained the package’s objectives and scope in a summary from the La Moncloa Presidency. The relevant department is the Ministerio de Vivienda y Agenda Urbana, which established Casa 47 as a tool to make homes in the lower and middle price ranges available more quickly. However, specific terms and eligibility criteria are not set universally, but are described in individual calls and listings.

For Galicia, the upcoming launch means additional state rental homes can be expected in several cities in the short term. The local impact will depend on the actual distribution of homes, local demand and the allocation rules set out in the listings. Casa 47’s announcement says that the properties will be published on 7 November 2026 and that further details – such as deadlines, income limits or required documents – will be provided directly in the online listings. Statements about future allocation rounds should be understood as plans by the relevant authorities and remain subject to available housing stock.

The information in this report is based on Casa 47’s published announcement and official government documents on the current legal framework in Spain.
