Social Welfare of La Laguna has initiated the procedure to launch the first municipal housing rehabilitation program for social causes. This is an initiative that will be developed jointly between social services and Muvisa and that will include a line of direct aid for families without financial resources, as well as a specific regulation aimed at “facilitating and speeding up all the works necessary to guarantee habitability conditions , safety, health and accessibility of the homes of neighbors at risk or in a situation of social exclusion. With this initiative, the ways of intervening in this type of problem are increased, adding these actions to those currently carried out with the help of the Cabildo’s programs.
Councilor for Social Welfare, Rubens Ascanius (United), explains in a note that the file for the first regulatory Ordinance for the granting of subsidies for the conservation and rehabilitation of housing in the municipality has already begun. This is a rule that will be an instrument that will facilitate this type of work, “which represents a significant improvement in the living conditions of the residents with greater socioeconomic vulnerability,” says Ascanio. A) Yes, the area will soon open a public consultation period, on the website of the City Council, to collect the needs and suggestions of the population with the idea of achieving an “updated and agile” document.
“This line of direct non-refundable aid will allow us to have more mechanisms to support vulnerable families so that they can face the works,” says the note.
