Qualitative Info

The new Law of 2009 of the Rights and Freedoms of
Foreigners in Spain and their Social Integration has opened a possibility for the responsible autonomous communities to introduce discriminatory limitations on
access to housing aid. The law states that “long-term” foreign residents, meaning those who have been legally resident for five years, are entitled to this aid under the same conditions as Spaniards. This is a step backwards from the previous law which granted access to all legal residents.ECRI recommends that access to housing aid is guaranteed for all legal residents who otherwise qualify for it.
