The Community of Madrid reserves 50 million euros to finance lifts in residential buildings. The aid has no call, requirements, or application deadlines yet.

Neighbourhood communities wishing to install a lift in their block will have a new regional aid, as reported by madridinforma.es. The regional government announced on 21 October 2026 a budget of 50 million euros for these installations in residential properties, as part of the Rehabilitar Madrid plan. For now, the subsidies cannot be requested as the call is pending.

The amount represents 17 million more than the 33 million that the Community had announced on 10 September for the same purpose. The most recent statement increases the allocation but does not explain the reason for the change. The regional plan has a total announced budget of 450 million euros, partly financed by the State Housing Plan, and also includes accessibility, conservation, and energy efficiency works in buildings and neighbourhoods.

The requirements have not yet been published. It is unclear whether the aid will require a minimum age for the building, a minimum number of floors, or a percentage of homes for habitual residence. The subsidisable percentage and the maximum amount per building have not been set, so it is not possible to calculate how much each community would receive.

In the 2023 call, the Community admitted homeowners' associations and groups, requiring buildings to be at least three storeys above ground level and the Building Evaluation Report. These conditions do not automatically apply to the new line. Mandatory accessibility works are governed by the Horizontal Property Law, regardless of these subsidies.

As of 27 October 2026, the Community has not set a submission deadline. Owners will need to follow the Official Bulletin of the Community of Madrid and the regional electronic headquarters. In the meantime, they can request indicative budgets and review the property documentation. Works started before the call are not guaranteed the subsidy.

This line should not be confused with the Rehabilita Plan from the City Council of Madrid, which also has 50 million, but whose 2026 call closed on 30 September.
