What it is
To apply for officially protected housing in Barcelona you must register with the Barcelona Protected Housing Applicants Register (RSHPOB), developed by the Barcelona Housing Consortium. It is a permanent register: anyone can apply at any time through any of the available channels (including by calling 010), individually or as a household, with one applicant representing the others. Requirements: being of age or an emancipated minor, having a housing need, being registered on the Barcelona padrón (for multi-member households, the main applicant), no member owning a home under the Regulation's terms, not exceeding the income limits and not being in any exclusion circumstance. Registration is valid for two years from the decision accepting it; once registered, those meeting the requirements of each allocation process can take part.

FAQ
When am I removed?
Among other reasons: not renewing after two years, being allocated an owned HPO or no longer meeting the conditions. If you give up an allocation process or the allocated home without good reason, you cannot register again for five years.
