More than 200 affordable housing apartments yet to be built in Matosinhos

A project for 204 affordable rental apartments in Matosinhos, planned since 2023, remains unbuilt. Although the municipality provided the land, the Institute for Housing and Urban Rehabilitation (IHRU) has not proceeded with construction.

Why it matters

If you were hoping to access affordable housing in Matosinhos, this project is currently stalled, meaning these units will not be available in the near future.
