The staff expansion will enable the Agency to better implement public housing policies, focusing on the rehabilitation, maintenance, and diagnosis of the public housing stock, the incorporation of new homes, the qualification of protected housing, and citizen services across the territory. It also responds to new government assignments, such as the Public Land Reserve, the Housing Emergency Fund, and the rural housing program.
The Agency currently manages 25,159 homes, a 21% increase since 2020, with its own stock growing by 34% in the same period. The new positions will strengthen the management of the existing stock and the progressive incorporation of new homes, given the rise in repair cases from 2,345 in 2021 to 4,670 this year.
This reinforcement will facilitate a shift towards programmed conservation of the entire stock, including systematic diagnostics, multi-year planning, and in-house construction management. This approach integrates improvements in energy efficiency, accessibility, and asbestos removal. 30 specialist technicians in construction are being incorporated (15 technical architects, 10 rehabilitation technicians and engineers, and 5 architects).
Of the 67 new positions, 33 will be assigned to central services in Barcelona, and 34 to territorial services: 10 in Girona, 10 in Tarragona, 8 in Lleida, and 6 in Terres de l'Ebre. In addition to technical profiles, 12 housing technicians and 20 administrative management positions are being added, also reinforcing human resources, general services, and citizen attention.
The positions have been sized according to structural workloads and efficiency gains from digital transformation, creating only those positions that cannot be covered by redistributing existing staff. The agreement is based on Law 10/2026 of the Generalitat de Catalunya's budget.
