The Vitoria-Gasteiz City Council has reported offering emergency shelter to a family facing eviction, a proposal that the family has rejected.

In situations where there is a risk of losing housing, municipal social services conduct an individual assessment for each case, following a pre-agreed intervention plan to prevent such loss.
Should an eviction or displacement occur, and in the absence of other alternatives, the Department of Social Policies individually assesses what can be offered as emergency accommodation.
Regarding the family affected by today's judicial eviction, the City Council offered them the only available alternative: temporary emergency accommodation in a social resource, which they have refused. Social services do not have housing units available for direct allocation.
This family is in a vulnerable situation, and public administrations have been providing them with assistance for years to address both their economic and social circumstances. Out of respect for the family's privacy, the City Council will not disclose information about their case file. The commitment is to continue working within municipal competencies, offering social support based on their needs.
