The Government of Zaragoza has approved this morning housing aid for women victims of gender violence for an amount of 150,000 euros. With this call, the City Council launches a new line of aid to facilitate the payment of rent or mortgage, giving them greater autonomy. In fact, housing is, along with employment, one of the main obstacles that victims face when separating from their aggressor.
The beneficiaries will receive a grant of 1,500 euros made in a single payment for expenses charged between January 1 and December 31, 2021. The day after its publication, in the BOPZ, a period will open until October 22 for request the grants, which will be resolved in order of presentation. To access them, victims of gender violence will have to be holders of a mortgage loan or a lease and be registered in the city. In addition, they must declare gross monthly income that does not exceed 2.5 times the Iprem.
Interested persons may contact the Women and Equality Service, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., on the telephone number 976 726 040, on the City Council’s website or by email at [email protected].

Only in 2020, the Consistory promoted contracts worth almost 260 million euros.
Likewise, this morning’s Government has also approved the list of economic-technical-administrative clauses that will govern the sale through public bidding, with the award of the most advantageous economic offer through a plurality of criteria, of plot UR-1, of municipal property.
