March 20, 2025
This action is part of the Integrated Sustainable Urban Development Strategy (DUSI) of Avilés, co-financed by 80% with FEDER funds.
The mayor, Mariví Monteserín, has signed a decree today awarding definitively in rental regime, to young people under 35 years old and employed, 10 municipal houses located in the former teachers’ houses in the La Luz neighborhood. These ten units add to the two previously awarded in separate decrees, making a total of 12 houses already occupied and 18 available in an open procedure where interested individuals who meet the requirements can register through the electronic platform.
Of the package of ten homes awarded today, and whose decree will be published on the electronic platform:
– 3 correspond to Type 1: (1-bedroom apartments with 40.95 m2 for family units of 1 or 2 members. Rent: 350 euros/month)
– 6 correspond to Type 2: (2-bedroom apartments with 66.55 m2 for family units with a maximum of 4 members. Rent: 400 euros/month)
– 1 corresponds to Type 3: (3-bedroom apartments with 91.17 m2 for family units of 3 or 5 members. Rent: 450 euros/month)
The final awardees of these 10 homes, young people under 35 years old who are employed, will be required to establish the deposit and formalize the lease contract within ONE MONTH from the day following the publication of this resolution on the Avilés City Council’s electronic platform.
Open Phase:
Once the competitive concurrence process has ended, any interested individual who meets the conditions set in the current regulations, primarily being young people under 35 years old and actively employed, can submit an application and be included in the reserve list, assigned an order based on the date of their application on the electronic platform.
The allocation of available homes will be strictly based on the established order in the reserve list, depending on the type of housing requested.
Requirements:
– Meet the family unit condition, with the required number of members for the requested housing type. This requirement must be met throughout the occupancy period, except for family births, and cannot be breached even occasionally.
– Have Spanish nationality or legal residence in Spain.
– No family member will be over 35 years old.
– No family member will be the owner of a property in the Influence Area, which includes the municipalities of Avilés, Castrillón, Corvera, Gozón, and Illas.
– The applicant must be employed at the time of application.
– Properly demonstrate that family income falls within the minimum and maximum limits specified in the regulations.
– For the preferential allocation of Type 2A housing, a family member with a disability, with reduced mobility equal to or greater than 33%.
Flexibilization:
It is worth noting that the new regulations have flexibilized the conditions to participate in the call. The main change affects the minimum annual income thresholds, which are adjusted according to the different types of housing. Minimum incomes of €14,000 for one-bedroom units, €16,000 for two-bedroom units, and €18,000 for three-bedroom units have been established.
The possibilities for choosing housing for each type of family unit have also been made more flexible. Thus, single-person families can choose both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, while three-bedroom units can also be chosen by family units of three members (up to five).
The rental prices (ranging from 350 to 450 euros per month, depending on the type of housing) include maintenance expenses for both the community and individual heat pump inspections.
