Can you apply for protected housing in Catalunya?

Pick how many people will live in the home and type what you all earn in a year. You will see whether you are within the income limit and what else Catalunya asks for.

Everyone who will live in the home, per the latest tax return (taxable base), not this month's payslip.

Income limit for 1 person

  • Special regimeup to 2.5 times the IRSC: €32,073.93 a year
  • General regimeup to 5 times the IRSC: €64,147.87 a year
  • Agreed or limited-price regimeup to 6.5 times the IRSC: €83,392.23 a year

Type your income to see whether you qualify.

Meeting the limit is a requirement, not a home. If you meet them all, you can apply to the calls. Who gets each home is decided by the draw or the points.

Indicative. Several regions raise the cap for age, disability or children, and all of them check the full household. The eligibility test does that person by person.

You register from the municipality where you are on the padrón. Some councils, such as Barcelona, keep their own register within the Catalan one.

Without prior registration you can't apply to most calls in Catalunya. It's free: do it early to build seniority.
