Local authorities: exceptional 2026 grants to eradicate irregular seasonal worker settlements

Order DCA/1079/2026 establishes the framework for granting exceptional subsidies during the 2026 financial year to local authorities (Art. 1). Funds must be allocated to relocation projects, improvement of housing conditions, and social inclusion to eradicate irregular settlements of seasonal workers (Art. 1). Permitted actions include the construction, adaptation, or acquisition of properties in non-segregated environments and the improvement of their surroundings (Art. 2).

In 3 key points

  1. Exceptional subsidies limited exclusively to the 2026 financial year, Art. 1. (art. 1)
  2. Funding for the construction, adaptation, or acquisition of properties in non-segregated environments, Art. 2. (art. 2)
  3. Application of Law 38/2003 General Law on Subsidies and its Regulations, Art. 3. (art. 3)

How it affects those involved

For local authorities affected by irregular settlements, financial resources are enabled to address the substandard housing crisis among migrant and seasonal populations (Art. 1). Town halls and local public bodies can finance temporary and non-permanent housing projects, avoiding residential segregation (Art. 2). The regulation aims to comply with the Sustainable Development Goals and the Ombudsman's recommendations regarding the lack of basic services in these settlements (Preamble).
