The State Housing Plan 2026-2030 introduces significant changes to the Bono Alquiler Joven, increasing aid amounts and extending its duration. These measures aim to facilitate emancipation and housing access for young people in Spain.
The monthly subsidy for young people renting a complete dwelling increases from 250 to 300 euros. Furthermore, the aid, previously short-term, can now be maintained for up to four years, provided requirements are met. A beneficiary could receive up to 14,400 euros in total.
The program targets individuals aged 18 to 35 with legal residency in Spain and a rental contract for their habitual dwelling or a room. It is essential to demonstrate regular income, not necessarily unemployment or a permanent contract, but a stable source of income.
Annual income must not exceed three times the IPREM (approximately 25,200 euros gross in 2026), although autonomous communities may raise this limit in areas with high rental prices. Monthly rent prices also have caps: up to 1,000 euros for full dwellings and 600 euros for rooms, with potential adjustments in stressed market areas.
The aid must be declared in the IRPF (Personal Income Tax) as a capital gain. The management of calls for applications, which began opening in the summer of 2026, falls to each autonomous community. In the case of the Canary Islands, the plan is currently in a public consultation phase, with further updates on the Bono Alquiler Joven reform expected soon.
