Cantabria’s official 2026 grants portal listed the regional programme for constructing social-rental homes in energy-efficient buildings (Decree 116/2022, implementing State Plan 2022–2025), with the application period ending 30 June 2026. The official procedure record says public administrations and public entities may apply directly; a private company or entity may be the recipient after winning a right of superficie, administrative concession or analogous right in a public-private procedure. Resulting homes must be new or converted from non-residential buildings and kept for social/affordable rental or use-right tenure for at least 50 years. The catalogue does not name cooperatives specifically, so a cooperative would need to win the qualifying public-right award and confirm its legal-form fit with Housing. This is a potentially relevant but closed pathway, not an open call.
Cantabria’s public consultation record on planned housing rules refers to coordinating State Plan 2026–2030 instruments with regional resources, which is evidence of intended coordination/regulation, not an executed cooperative call. No call was open on the checked date, and no cooperative-specific acceptance was confirmed. Private groups can monitor the BOC and regional housing-aid portal for a future call, and the public land/right award route must be separately available. National plan framework: es-national-cooperative-collaborative-housing.
A separate regulatory path is protected-rental qualification for new-build or stalled residential schemes, administered under Decree 4/2019, Decree 28/2020 and Protected Housing Law 5/2014. The official procedure remains call-dependent and cites the 2018–2021 housing plan, so it is a qualification/legal pathway rather than evidence of current subsidy budget; check for a new call before treating it as finance. See the Cantabria protected-rental qualification procedure.
