Protected housing in Catalonia: HPO

In Catalonia, protected housing is known as HPO (habitatge amb protecció oficial). It is managed by the Catalan Housing Agency, with income requirements and an applicants registry as the gateway.

First step: the Registry of Applicants

To apply for an HPO you must enrol in the Registry of Applicants for Officially Protected Housing. It is the Catalan equivalent of the applicant registry and is essential to take part in allocations.

Developments in Barcelona and the rest of Catalonia

Barcelona concentrates much of the demand, but there are developments in many municipalities. Each has its own rules, deadlines and scoring.

Watch Barcelona and Catalonia automatically

The challenge, as always, is finding out in time. Calls appear with short windows and spread across several portals.

GovEasy Monitoring checks those sources for you and emails you when a new protected housing development appears in Barcelona or in your Catalan municipality.
