Málaga Mayor's Plan: Affordable Housing for Young Professionals

Málaga Mayor Unveils Plan for Affordable "Minipisos" for Young People Málaga, Spain – Mayor Francisco de la Torre recently announced a new initiative to address the housing crisis facing young people in Málaga. The plan involves constructing a significant number of small, affordable apartments, termed "minipisos," intended to provide temporary housing while young professionals establish their careers. The project aims to offer rental units at approximately €500 per month. "These 'minipisos' are for one or two people, at most," explained Mayor de la Torre in an interview with 101TV Málaga. "They're for a few years, while they find their footing in their professions." He further emphasized the speed of the project, stating, "It's a matter of months to get started; it can be around 500 euros, a little more. We will try to make it as cheap as possible. The competition is for whoever rents the cheapest." The project is expected to significantly impact the lives of young people struggling to find affordable housing in Málaga. The focus on temporary housing and competitive bidding suggests a commitment to providing practical and cost-effective solutions. The initiative demonstrates a proactive approach to addressing a pressing social issue in the city.
