BE denounces suspension of youth affordable rent program
The Lisbon City Council's 'De Volta ao Bairro' affordable rent program for youth under 35 has been suspended by the municipal executive. Mayor Carlos Moedas stated the suspension is temporary, pending a review of the tender process following concerns raised by the PCP party regarding the platform and procedures used for assigning municipal housing.
Why it mattersIf you are a young resident looking to apply for the 'De Volta ao Bairro' program, note that the application process is currently suspended while the municipality verifies the integrity of its digital platform, meaning you should watch for future announcements on when these tenders will resume.
