The Ministry of Environment, Housing, and Territorial Planning of the Regional Government of Castilla y León has rehabilitated and improved the energy efficiency of the Camineros’ homes in Medina de Rioseco to allocate them to the public housing stock for rent.
The actions have involved an investment of 884,666 euros and have been financed by the Regional Government of Castilla y León with the support of European funds REACT-EU.
This is a promotion of 6 single-family homes of camineros, owned by the Regional Government of Castilla y León, intended for rental. The executed works meet the objective of improving the thermal, acoustic, and habitability conditions of these homes, resulting in modern and efficient homes. The outcome is adapted to the Technical Building Code, with an aerothermal heating system, which leads to a significant improvement in energy rating, with an energy consumption of 54.7 kWh/m² per year contributing to a reduction of CO2 emissions of 9.3 kgCO2/m² per year.
The promotion is distributed in a single block corresponding to the portal numbers 1 to 6. The six homes are arranged in the same way. On the ground floor, entrance hall, dining room, living room, kitchen, toilet, and individual backyard for each home. On the first floor, hallway, three bedrooms, and bathroom. Odd-numbered homes have a usable area of 88 m² and even-numbered homes 89 m².
A seventh camineros’ home that was located on the side of this block of six, which was the subject of the key handover, was rehabilitated last year and is already occupied for affordable rent by a family with eight children.
Public housing promotions by the Regional Government
The Ministry of Environment, Housing, and Territorial Planning is managing the construction and rehabilitation of more than 3,000 homes, with 130 promotions under construction. Of these, more than 2,000 are for rent in 29 promotions, with 1,098 homes intended for young rent in Ávila, Burgos, Aranda de Duero, Miranda de Ebro, León, Ponferrada, Palencia, Segovia, Soria, Valladolid, Medina del Campo, and Zamora.
In addition, 134 camineros’ homes are included in 10 promotions in the provinces of Ávila, León, Salamanca, Soria, Valladolid, and Zamora, and more than 600 homes for rent in small municipalities of Castilla y León. Regarding sales, 1,000 homes will be developed across the 9 provinces of the Community.
On September 30, 2024, the President of the Regional Government of Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, and the presidents of the nine provincial councils signed a collaboration protocol to build the mentioned 1,000 homes in the Community, for sale with a 20% discount for young people.
