Contents

This ministry existed in three different periods. The first one was during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. The ministry was first established in 1957. [3] The second one during the democratic period, from 2004 to 2010, when Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero announced that the Ministry of Housing would be suppressed to reduce public spending. [4] The third period started in late 2023, when prime minister Pedro Sánchez re-established the department.

The current Housing Minister is, since 21 November 2023, Isabel Rodríguez García, who previously served as minister of Territorial Policy and Government spokesperson between 2021 and 2023. [5]
