Fuerteventura has 236 public homes in development as Canary Islands sets out 2027 housing budget
The Canary Islands’ proposed housing budget for 2027 rises to €249 million. Fuerteventura has 236 public homes at various stages of development, but no completion dates were given.
Fuerteventura has 236 public homes at different stages of development under the Canary Islands’ public housing programme. The figures were presented alongside the regional government’s proposed budget for 2027.
Pablo Rodríguez, the Canary Islands minister for Public Works, Housing and Mobility, set out his department’s spending plans on 3 November 2026. He presented them to the regional parliament’s Budget and Finance Committee. They form part of the draft regional budget law.
This does not mean that 236 homes are ready to move into. The report does not say where the homes are or how far work has progressed. It gives no details of how they will be allocated or when they will be ready.
What the housing budget covers
The proposed budget for the Instituto Canario de la Vivienda (ICAVI) is €249,052,938, up 26% on 2026.
This includes €93.3 million to build public housing. A further €84.7 million is for help with rent, home purchases by young people, rural areas and other programmes.
Another €51 million is for work on neighbourhoods and buildings. This includes work to restore, conserve and maintain public housing.
These sums cover the whole of the Canary Islands. They are not funds set aside for Fuerteventura alone.
The joint programme run by ICAVI and VISOCAN covers 3,963 homes at different stages across the islands. These include the 236 homes in Fuerteventura.
VISOCAN will also continue to develop land for rental housing and bring empty homes into use. It will work with local authorities and the private sector.
Rodríguez said the approach combined building homes with support for households as the public housing stock grows. It also includes work to improve existing homes.
The plans set out the government’s proposed spending priorities for 2027. They do not give Fuerteventura residents a new timetable for housing applications.
