8,100 applications for the 2023 call for rental subsidies

Of this volume of more than 8,100 applications, from now on a review will be made to discard those that the same person has presented in duplicate, as happens every year. In the 2022 call for applications, more than 8,300 applications were received, of which almost 850 were later found to be duplicated.

During the application period, more than 6,000 applications have been registered telematically, while more than 2,000 have required face-to-face assistance to support the interested parties in formulating the request. In addition, there have been more than 36,000 visits to the ajudeslloguer23.caib.es website and almost 3,000 and 2,500 reproductions of the video on the requirements and the tutorial to resolve doubts, both produced by the Directorate General for Housing and Architecture to facilitate processing.

The call for rental aid for 2023 initially has a budget of 8.77 million euros, of which 6.57 million come from state funds and 2.20 million from regional funds, and is aimed at people with limited economic resources and with monthly rents of up to 900 euros in their habitual residence. This is aid for rents paid during 2023.

The aid covers a maximum of 50% of the rent, with a limit of 3,000 euros per year per dwelling, and the income limits established for eligibility are also maintained. As a general rule, the income of the family nucleus cannot exceed 24,318 euros per year, three times the public income indicator for multiple effects (IPREM).

This limit is increased in certain cases: up to 32,424 euros (four times the IPREM) in the case of large families in the general category, people with disabilities or victims of terrorism; and up to 40,530 euros (five times the IPREM) in the case of large families in the special category or people with disabilities with a recognised degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%.
