Porto City Council allocated 300 social housing units per year over the last four years

Porto’s Social Housing Observatory reports 28,180 residents living in 12,409 public dwellings, with an average rent of €77.06. The City Council has allocated roughly 300 social housing units per year over the past four years — about 2.4% of the existing stock annually (≈9.7% cumulatively over four years).
