The Alicante City Council has awarded a contract to Emocional Technologies 22 S.L. for the management of a network of supported housing for individuals and families experiencing social exclusion. The contract, valued at €1,070,269, is set for a duration of two years, with the possibility of a two-year extension.
This supported housing service provided assistance to 79 individuals in 2025, comprising 47 men and 32 women. The initiative aims to offer urgent accommodation for those in social emergency situations who lack housing and require support to achieve social inclusion.
Details of the service
The network of supported housing provides essential services, including prevention, rehabilitation, counselling, and temporary accommodation while individuals transition to more permanent housing solutions or gain the necessary autonomy to live independently.
The Social Welfare Department has been addressing these needs since 2002 through various services. The new contract will maintain 13 housing units, with eight provided by the contractor and the remainder by the City Council.
Begoña León, the Councillor for Social Welfare, stated, “This emergency resource prevents and addresses severe residential situations, facilitating access to housing and providing social support.” She added that the service offers temporary accommodation to those in greatest need, with specialist support until they can rebuild their lives and achieve sufficient autonomy.
Specialised team and support
The service will be staffed by a specialised team, including a coordinator, social workers, educators, and assistants, who will provide tailored support to individuals at risk of social exclusion. The housing units are equipped with basic amenities to ensure effective accommodation and cover associated living expenses.
This initiative is also a vital tool for the intervention processes conducted by municipal social teams, who work with vulnerable families and individuals to create support pathways for social integration. The awarded company, Emocional Technologies 22 S.L., has committed to allocating €15,000 annually for individual and family support expenses as part of service improvements.
