Royal Decree-law 9/2024 was Spain's omnibus decree of 23 December 2024, published the following day. It combined economic, tax, transport and social-security measures with extensions of protections for vulnerable households. Its housing provisions included transferring suitable state property to the public land agency SEPES for affordable housing. It also extended temporary eviction-suspension provisions for qualifying vulnerable households without alternative accommodation. Those provisions specified an end date of 31 December 2025. [Original decree, Articles 89–90](https://www.boe.es/diario_boe/txt.php?id=BOE-A-2024-26915).
Congress voted to repeal the decree on 22 January 2025, and the official repeal resolution was published on 23 January. The decree's contents describe that historical package, rather than a continuing source of present entitlements. [Repeal resolution](https://www.boe.es/diario_boe/txt.php?id=BOE-A-2025-1136).
