City Council Unanimously Backs Homelessness Strategy
The Local Plan for Addressing Homelessness 2026–2030 was approved by unanimous vote at the Rubí municipal plenary session in October 2026. The document, published on the city’s official website, sets out a comprehensive roadmap to tackle rising homelessness in the town, a challenge increasingly linked to the lack of affordable housing. This structural issue, common across European cities, has a significant impact on affected individuals’ lives. The plan aims to address it through an integral, interdisciplinary, coordinated and flexible approach, ensuring support is delivered with respect, transparency, connection, inclusion, credibility and autonomy.
Seven Strategic Axes, 49 Actions
Based on a detailed diagnosis of Rubí’s current situation, the strategy outlines seven strategic axes, which unfold into 49 specific actions designed to guide responsible agencies in implementation. These actions are intended to strengthen prevention, improve access to housing, and enhance social inclusion for people experiencing homelessness. The plan reflects a growing institutional focus on housing as a critical social issue. In a related development, the Housing Rights Table in Rubí reported a 74% expansion in the public housing stock between 2021 and 2027, indicating ongoing efforts to increase affordable supply.
