Overview
- The Church keeps legal title while placing selected properties at the administration’s disposal for social housing projects.
- A 10-member working table will meet twice a year to identify assets, propose regulatory changes, and steer conversions, with a six-person commission reviewing results annually.
- Eligible assets include vacant homes, buildings, and plots from dioceses, with allocations pledged for vulnerable groups under transparent, equitable criteria.
- Media reports say 75-year use cessions will be studied by the new bodies rather than applied universally at the outset.
- The signing, led by Archbishop Joan Planellas and President Salvador Illa, marks Illa’s return to public activity and carries an initial four-year term that can be extended.
