The Cabildo Insular de La Palma (island government) has opened a rental housing aid scheme for young people aged 18 to 35, covering 50% of the monthly rent up to a maximum of €300.

The Cabildo Insular de La Palma has launched a call for grants to support housing rental among the island's young population. Applications are open to people aged 18 to 35, with age assessed at the time the application is submitted.

The grant covers 50% of the monthly rent, up to a maximum of €300 per month.

To qualify, applicants must meet the following requirements:

1. Have their actual and habitual residence on the island of La Palma.
2. Be registered (empadronado) at the property for which the grant is requested.
3. Hold a rental contract in accordance with the Spanish Urban Leases Act (Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos).
4. Have a regular source of income equal to or below three times the IPREM (Spain's public income reference index). This limit may rise to four times the IPREM in cases of disability above 33%, gender-based violence or large families.

These grants are compatible with other aid for the same purpose, although applicants must check that such other aid is also compatible with this grant.

Full information on the call is available on the website and electronic office (sede electrónica) of the Cabildo Insular de La Palma.
