Housing in Tenerife isn’t exactly getting easier… so any movement here matters.
The Cabildo has approved 47 new public homes in Granadilla, with a budget of just under €9.7 million.
It’s not a huge number… but it’s something.
Where and What
The development, called Cuevas Cho Portada, will be built in Los Hueros (Granadilla de Abona).
Funding is split:
- 40% Cabildo
- 60% Canary Islands Government
And they’re pushing it through as an urgent project, which tells you how tight things have got.
The Bigger Issue
47 homes won’t fix the housing problem.
Not even close.
But it shows they’re at least trying to speed things up… which has been one of the main complaints for years.
It’s Not Just Housing
They’ve also signed off on a few other things at the same time:
- €749k for education programmes (focused on reading and skills in schools)
- Updates to urban improvement projects across towns like Güímar, Los Realejos and Buenavista
So it’s a bit of a mixed package… housing, education, and public spaces.
What It Actually Means
The housing part is what most people will care about.
And realistically… more is needed.
But getting projects moving quicker is probably the key here, not just announcing them.
Final Thought
It’s a step forward… just not a big enough one on its own.
But if more of these start coming through, it might finally start to shift things.
