A coalition of Spanish foundations and non-profits provided temporary housing to over 1,000 family members of patients receiving specialized treatment in Barcelona hospitals during 2025, but turned away 259 applicants due to limited capacity. Organizations like Fundació Jubert Figueras, Casa Ronald McDonald, and others manage roughly 55 apartments with an average stay of 33 days, filling a gap left by Barcelona's high rental and hotel costs for families whose relatives undergo complex procedures like organ transplants and cancer treatment.
