To make an impact on the Spanish residential rental market, in order to facilitate universal access to housing throughout the country. Affordable social rental housing only accounts for 1.6% of the total in Spain, compared to a European average of 15%. There is therefore a need to create two million new housing units to address an insufficient stock of affordable social housing.
The new disruptive model transforms housing into a social infrastructure, proposes a new collaborative framework with the Public Administration, and incorporates sustainability into the development of assets, in order to create a stock of publicly-managed and privately-owned rental housing without Public Administrations having to generate debt or consume resources. The Fondviso model makes it possible to reduce renters’ habitability costs by 30% (rent, energy and water cost, and maintenance expenses), accelerate the development of public rental housing stock, and reduce investor risk to mobilize private capital.
The Fondviso model allows Administrations to obtain five times more housing units for the public rental market supply than with the current model, giving them a greater capacity to expand the supply of affordable rental housing with the same resources they have now.
