What is Porta 65 Youth
Porta 65 Youth is a public rental housing support programme aimed at young people aged between 18 and 35. In couples, it is possible to apply provided one member is up to 37 years old and the other does not exceed 35 years old, in compliance with Porta 65 Youth rules.
This Porta 65 Youth support consists of a monthly rent contribution, calculated based on the contractual rent, household income and rent burden rate. The Porta 65 Youth programme is managed by IHRU – Institute for Housing and Urban Rehabilitation. Applications for Porta 65 Youth are submitted online via the Housing Portal and can be made with or without an existing rental contract, although in the latter case it must be submitted later within the deadline defined in the Porta 65 Youth regulations.
How Porta 65 Youth works
Porta 65 Youth grants a monthly financial support for 12 months, corresponding to a percentage of eligible rent. The support can be renewed annually, up to a maximum of five years, consecutive or non-consecutive, under Porta 65 Youth rules.
To access Porta 65 Youth, the following requirements must be met:
- Age within the limits defined by Porta 65 Youth
- Rental contract or promissory contract
- Permanent residence in the property
- Rent burden within the established limits
- Household income within legal limits
- No ownership of another residential property
- No outstanding debt from previous Porta 65 Youth or housing support programmes
The rental contract under Porta 65 Youth must have a minimum duration of 12 months or be renewable. The property must also be suitable for the household size according to typology limits defined in Porta 65 Youth regulations.
The support calculation is based on the lower value between actual rent and the maximum reference rent for the area, applying a percentage defined by scoring brackets assigned in the Porta 65 Youth application.
