Can Llong

Can Llong is a district within the city of Sabadell, Catalonia, Spain. It is currently newsworthy due to recent developments in social housing initiatives. Specifically, Incasòl (the Catalan Land Institute) has recently delivered 34 social rental apartments in Can Llong, resolving a long wait for families who won a public housing lottery two years prior. This delivery addresses the pressing need for affordable housing in the area, as highlighted by the experiences of residents like Benjamín and Esther. Furthermore, the Sabadell city council has agreed to cede six plots of municipal land to Cohabitac, a coordinator of social housing foundations, for the construction of 122 additional social rental apartments. These combined efforts signify a significant push to increase the availability of social housing in Can Llong and alleviate housing challenges faced by residents with limited financial resources.
