JAD Madeira warns about difficulties faced by young people in buying or renting a house

SAPO Notícias28 August 2026 at 13:18

The president of JAD Madeira, Gonçalo Margarido, warned about the difficulties faced by young people in the Madeira region in gaining access to housing. According to the official, low incomes combined with high real estate prices are creating significant barriers for Madeiran young people.

This situation is having concrete consequences, leading many young people to choose to leave the region and settle abroad. Margarido believes that this exodus of young people compromises the ability to build a life project in the region itself.

The warning comes in the context of a broader debate about access to housing for the young population, a challenge that affects not only Madeira but also other regions of the country and Europe.

Matosinhos requests 40 million euro loan to build 500 affordable rental homes

The Municipality of Matosinhos will request a 40 million euro loan to build 500 affordable rental homes, including a development exclusively for young people up to 35 years old. President Luísa Salgueiro announced that the request will be discussed at the next municipal executive meeting, emphasizing that the municipality will proceed without depending on the Government's "timing." Of the 40 million, Matosinhos will recover more than 20 million corresponding to the Government's 60% responsibility. The homes, all on municipal land, will be for affordable rental aimed at the middle class, with completion expected in three to four years. The loan will also be used to rehabilitate seven housing complexes totaling 1,173 homes not included in the PRR. The mayor also criticized the delays by the PSD/CDS-PP Government in transfers to municipalities, particularly regarding housing and school decentralization.
