Housing
Lisbon capital falls behind on housing renovations
Lisbon City Council has renovated 7,201 of the 14,383 municipal homes identified for repair, with approximately 3,600 properties still lacking funding applications as of the end of June. The council also reported a slowdown in housing allocations, with 253 homes handed over in 2026 compared to an annual average of 687, and an initiative for residents aged 35 and under now expects to provide 63 homes instead of the originally planned 120.
