Protected housing for people over 65: offers with a quota and what you are entitled to
As of 1 November 2026, we follow no open or upcoming offer with homes for older people; there is no state quota for older people: each region or call sets one.
Offers for older people or with a quota for them
Offers with an open or upcoming window come first, then those closed in the last 18 months. Each row says how many of the development's homes are reserved, according to its call. Being in the quota is not getting the home: inside the quota there is still a draw or a points ranking.

What the law gives you
Across Spain
There is no state protected-housing quota for people over 65. The State Housing Plan 2026-2030 funds alojamientos, intergenerational homes and housing built around care, rented or ceded for at least 20 years, for households with income up to 6 times the IPREM (arts. 60 to 69).
Real Decreto 326/2026, Plan Estatal de Vivienda ↗For accessibility works in the building, the Plan's aid rises from €13,000 to €18,000 a home if a person over 65 lives there, and it may cover up to 80% of the cost instead of 70% (art. 99).

The State Plan's aid is claimed through each region's own call, and it does not apply in Euskadi or Navarra (art. 1.5).

In the other regions, any quota for older people is set by each call, and so is the age that counts. In Catalunya it is called the gent gran quota.
Each rule read in its official text on 25 October 2026.
How to prove it
Age is proven with your DNI or NIE. Each call says on which date it counts.

Questions people ask
Is there protected housing for people over 65?
Yes, but not through a state rule. Some developments are homes for older people and some calls reserve a quota for them, such as Catalunya's gent gran quota. This page lists the ones we follow.
From what age does a quota for older people apply?
It depends on the call; many use 65. In Navarra, half of the general rental reserves are for people aged 35 or under and 60 or over.
Do people over 65 get a higher income limit?
In the Comunitat Valenciana, yes: it adds 0.2 times the IPREM for each member over 65. Elsewhere it depends on the call.
Is there aid to make my building accessible?
The State Housing Plan 2026-2030 raises the aid for accessibility works to €18,000 a home if a person over 65 lives there, covering up to 80% of the cost. You apply through your region's call.
Guidance only, not an official ruling. Each call's own rules prevail.
