Spain: EIB and Valencia city council join forces to build more than 320 new affordable housing units
The European Investment Bank (EIB) will be supporting Sociedad Anónima Municipal Actuaciones Urbanas de Valencia (AUMSA), a municipal company owned by the city of Valencia, with a loan of up to €27 million to promote affordable public rental housing. Specifically, the EIB loan will finance the construction of 323 new units, 85% of which will be in near-zero-energy buildings, and the rehabilitation of four existing ones across different locations in the city of Valencia. These investments will constitute a 54% increase in AUMSA’s existing stock of affordable public rental housing.
