The Generalitat de Catalunya will launch a call for applications for rental assistance for young people next Monday, with a budget of 26.8 million euros. Applications may be submitted from June 29 through July 10, 2025, according to the resolution published in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat de Catalunya (DOGC).
It is intended for individuals who, as of January 31, 2026, are 35 years old or younger and hold a rental contract for an apartment or a room.
The call for applications, published in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat de Catalunya (DOGC), was created to address the demand that could not be met through the national Bo Lloguer Jove program. According to Sílvia Paneque, the Regional Minister of Territory, Housing, and Ecological Transition, the amount of the subsidy varies depending on the financial burden that rent payments represent for each applicant.
Amounts and limits based on income and location
The amount is not fixed: it ranges from a minimum of 20 euros to a maximum of 250 euros per month, calculated in proportion to the burden that rent represents on the applicant’s income. The assistance is granted to all individuals who meet the requirements, applying the prioritization and assessment criteria set forth in the regulatory guidelines.
Eligible rent is subject to maximum amounts that vary depending on the property’s location. For entire dwellings, the caps are as follows:
