All young people up to 35 years old with a rented house, who do not yet benefit from support, have until May 30 to apply for Porta 65. After the most recent updates of the Government contemplated in the State Budget for 2022, in which some adjustments to the programme were implemented, new maximum ceilings for the rent allowed are now in force, allowing more young people to apply. However, this is not the only novelty, since it is under discussion, in a proposal inserted in the scope of the "More Housing" Programme, the opening of these applications throughout the year, contrary to the periods currently defined, and which will be discussed in Parliament already on 19 May.
At the end of 2021 were 11.052 young people contemplated by the support, a number that has been increasing and for which the Government has already established a goal, wanting to reach, until 2026, 22.000 young people. For such, it is known that the budget allocated to the program will be annually increased, which should reach 47 million euros in the next three years.
The applications for this year began last 28 April and will run until 5pm on 30 May, although there may be updates according to the next meeting in the Portuguese Parliament, and it is expected that they will be continuous, according to adjustments still being made by the Institute of Housing and Urban Rehabilitation (IHRU).
How can I apply?
Through the Housing Portal, where it is necessary to fill in an electronic form by accessing the Finance Portal with taxpayer number and password. The necessary documents are the following:
- Promissory contract or lease contract, where the possibility of renewal or the term of validity must be stated, translating into the 12 months of subsidy.
- Receipt of the rent of the previous month or of the month in which the application is made, although the last three receipts of transfer of the rent payment, previous to the application period, may also be admitted.
- Identification documents of all the elements indicated in the application, whether candidates, dependents or ascendants.
- Proof of income through IRS from the previous year. If not available, this must be proved via the IRS certificate of exemption, which can be obtained from the finance portal, or via the extract of the contribution career, obtained from the direct social security site.
All cohabiting or single young people aged 18 or over and under 35 are eligible, although in a couple, if one of the members is 36 and the other 34, they are still eligible. In this situation, a couple does not need to be married or living in a non-marital partnership.
In what concerns the value of the rent, this should not be higher than the maximum value allowed in the area where the property is located, in accordance with the types indicated in the table - which can also be consulted on the Housing Portal. Besides, to be able to submit the candidacy, the effort rate should not be superior to 60%.
When do the results come out and what happens if my application is approved?
Normally, the applications are analysed for 60 days after the end of the deadline in April and the results are expected to be posted in the month of September, which will appear on the Housing Portal. And, if the candidacy is approved, the candidate will benefit from a subsidy during 12 months, destined to the payment of the rent, which corresponds to a percentage of its value.
The payments are made by bank transfer, to the NIB indicated in the candidacy, until the eighth day of each month and the subsidy can extend, at most, for up to 5 years or 60 monthly instalments, being the first attributed after the results of the competition without retroactive effects.
