IN BRIEF

The delivery adds real occupied supply, but it does not create a general open application for anyone seeking housing in Madeira.

  • Fifteen homes are being delivered at Fonte Frade in Jardim da Serra.
  • The reported investment is €3.3 million.
  • The handover is a specific allocation, not a new universal application round.
  • Applicants should use the current regional housing channel for their own case.
01

What the handover represents

The Madeira Regional Government is delivering 15 controlled-cost homes at Fonte Frade, in Jardim da Serra. The reported investment for the development is €3.3 million.

A completed handover is different from a future pipeline announcement: these homes have reached the allocation stage. It still does not mean another household can apply for one of the same units now.

02

Keep a housing application current

Anyone seeking regional housing support should check the active programmes, household criteria and required evidence. Income, household composition and present accommodation can all affect assessment.

Do not pay an intermediary who claims to control a public allocation. Use the responsible regional service and keep copies of documents and application references.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

What you can do now.

  1. 01

    Check the current Madeira housing programmes.

  2. 02

    Keep household and income evidence updated.

  3. 03

    Use only the responsible public application channel.
