Main Points
The Andorra Housing Union (SHA) has issued a statement regarding the government’s new rental assistance program. While the organization acknowledged that the subsidies provide immediate relief to families facing financial difficulties, it cautioned that such measures do not address the underlying causes of the housing crisis.
The SHA warned that these subsidies risk using public funds to subsidize rental prices that remain inaccessible to the general population. The union argued that the current approach fails to tackle the root of the problem, which it attributes to market conditions.
In its assessment, the organization raised concerns regarding the eligibility criteria for the aid, specifically questioning the requirement for 15 years of residency. The union called for broader structural changes to the housing sector, advocating for an increase in the public housing stock, greater stability in rental contracts, and the implementation of more effective market regulations.
