Epidemiologists warn that the housing crisis impacts well-being and is a "public health crisis"

The Spanish Society of Epidemiology (SEE) has officially categorized the current housing crisis as a public health emergency, noting that difficulties in accessing and maintaining stable housing significantly diminish individual and community wellbeing. This assessment highlights the structural impact of housing instability on broader health outcomes.

In the political sphere, Ombudsman Ángel Gabilondo has urged political parties to present concrete strategies for addressing the housing market ahead of upcoming elections, emphasizing the need for proactive solutions. Simultaneously, political figures such as EH Bildu’s Oskar Matute have invoked the legacy of housing activists to call for continued legislative and social advocacy on the issue.
