Mollerussa plans to bring 71 homes from projects halted by the 2008 property crisis onto the market this year, as the city council works to increase housing supply in the municipality.
Of those homes, 60 are already sold or in the final stages of construction. Work has started to recover the remaining 11 units, according to mayor Marc Solsona and housing councillor Anna Carné.
The council says the reactivation forms part of a wider strategy to encourage owners of empty flats to make them available for rent or sale. It says Mollerussa currently has 6,994 homes, most of them owner-occupied.
The council is also working on 193 homes at different stages of processing, execution or study. These units are expected to join the housing stock in the coming months. Beyond the 71 homes planned for this year, 40 more are expected to begin activation procedures in 2027.
Officials also said 60 units acquired by various developers are under feasibility study. They are aware of 16 homes acquired without mid-term execution plans, and 6 cases are still awaiting definition. For more local housing coverage, see our news tag.
Carné said the council wants to meet demand for both purchase and rental housing. She said around 100 families are on the Housing Exchange waiting list for social rental flats, and the council manages contracts for 52 such properties.
She also gave figures for housing support. In 2025, the department handled 2,594 enquiries, while from January to June this year the figure reached 1,833, a rise linked to campaigns for rental aid. In 2025, 470 aid applications were processed, including 42 for people over 65, 77 for those under 35, and 311 for people aged 35 to 65. This year, 477 applications have already been processed, with a Generalitat campaign for under-35s still to come.
